Kanti

Native American

Kanti is commonly explained in Sanskrit as “beauty” and is also associated with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. Some baby-name sources list Kanti as a female name of Algonquin origin meaning “sings,” though that Native American attribution is less widely documented.

Kohana

Native American

Kohana is most often listed as a Japanese girl name meaning "little flower." Some baby-name sources also describe it as Hawaiian and connect it with fragrance or sweet-smelling flowers, but the Japanese meaning is the clearest supported meaning in the provided sources.

Maka

Native American

Maka is a short, gentle unisex name meaning “earth” in Lakota. It has a grounded, nature-rich feeling with a clean two-syllable sound.

Nokomis

Native American

Nokomis comes from Ojibwe nookomis, meaning "my grandmother." It carries a gentle, elder-centered feeling of care, memory, and family wisdom.

Nuka

Native American

Nuka is a gender-neutral Greenlandic and Indigenous American, Eskimo-Aleut, name meaning “younger sibling,” “little brother,” or “little sister.” It comes from the Greenlandic word nukaa.
