Meaning: First-born daughter

Wenona is a beautiful name for girls. While American actress Winona Ryder certainly played a part in popularizing the name, it’s actually derived from Winúŋna, a Native American term for “first-born daughter.” And as is, it was typically reserved for such an occasion. You can follow suit and choose Wenona for your firstborn. It’s also a great way for them to take their heritage wherever they go.
