If you’re on the lookout for a name that will honor baby’s one-of-a-kind soul, Witashnah is a worthy contender. Typically feminine, Witashnah is so unique that it leaves an aura of mystery around its meaning and origin. It is, however, thought to be of Native American origin, coming from the Dakota word witȟáŋšna and meaning “maiden,” “virgin,” or “single woman.”
