Native American Baby Boy Names With Meanings

In search of a unique and meaningful name for your baby boy? We would recommend that you consider Native American names. Not only do these sound exotic, but they carry very deep meanings as well. We have provided a list of some of the best Native American baby boy names for you to choose from.

Did You Know?

The Sioux tribe had a very complicated method of naming their babies. They gave them 6 classes of names which included the birth name, the nicknames, the honor names, the special deed names, the secret name, and the spirit name. Interestingly, the secret and spirit name were only known to the medicine man and the individual himself.

Many new-age parents are opting for unique meaningful names while naming their newborns. Due to this, there has been a rise in the popularity of Native American names―these names fulfill the above criteria extremely well. Along with being meaningful, these names are heavily influenced by nature as well. There are several tribes that collectively form the Native American community, and each tribe has a unique way of naming their child. Many times, the names undergo a change in different stages of a person’s life, depending on the achievements of that person.
