Origin:Native American
Meaning:First-born daughter
Winonah is a girl’s name of Native American origin that’s a variant of Winona. Meaning “first-born daughter,” you can choose this for such an occasion. Though American actress Winona Ryder lent the name some star power, she was named after the Minnesotan city in which she was born. As the historical site of the Dakota people, this city was named Winona after a heroine in Sioux legend. So, this very unassuming feminist name is all set to help your little one conquer hearts and minds all around.
