Seminole is a masculine name of Native American origin. Seminole is a name of a tribe, related to the Creeks, who settled in Florida and resisted European-American attempts to take over their land in the ten-year Seminole War. The name itself is said to be defined as "runaway" or "wild one," but it's more likely that this came from the Creek word simanó-li, meaning "separatist." A name like this will teach baby to embrace their independence from day one.
