Origin: Native American

Meaning: Where the mountain meets the sea; A place above

Topanga is a name for the creatives and the wandering souls of the world. It originated among the Tongva people as Topaa'nga and has since been used for the free-spirited commune amongst the Santa Monica mountains. Its meaning, "a place above" and "where the mountain meets the sea," depicts a gorgeous natural landscape crying out for an artist's brushstrokes or a photographer's flash. Perhaps popularised by the American TV show Boy Meets World, Topanga appeared as a central character who discovered herself by the show's end. Whether you are an artist at heart or want to pass on the flower power to your sunshine child, Topanga is a sure way to honor that nature-loving connection!
