  1. I loved how it sounded soft and gentle and feminine. I loved the meaning of the name, Lakota-Sioux for “firstborn daughter” and anglicized to mean “wished for”. I loved how similar it was to other names I liked: Rowena, Morwenna, Eowyn… I was going to name baby Beatrice Roberta, but family had an issue with me using the name Beatrice. So Winona Katherine it was! She is my firstborn, my daughter.

  2. Winona Ryder, since she’s from Minnesota and so are we. The name also means “first born daughter” which she is.

  3. My name is Winnona (spelt with the extra N) and I grew up with the nickname Nona. But I was the second born daughter in my family so the name was just because my mum liked it. Her name is also Native American

  4. My husband and I like Winona as it means ‘first-born daughter’. Also, my husband really wanted a name that the nickname ‘Winnie’ could be used for. We think it’s an uncommon, yet not completely out there, name!
