Meaning: Of the Mohave tribe; Mojave dessert

If your little one is as essential as water and as sacred as the sun, consider the Native American boy's name, Mojave. Beyond its geographical association with California and Nevada, Mojave derives its meaning, "of the Mohave tribe" from the land's indigenous people. The Mohave tribe, settled around the Colorado River, considered it a gift from their creator's son, Mastamho. Their rich culture included planting indigenous plants like Datura for use in religious rituals, adding a beautiful layer of meaning to this unique and nature-infused name.
