Numa

Encourage your little one to connect to their family’s ancestry with the name Numa. This gender-neutral name has Native American roots, referring to the Paiute, two Indigenous groups that resided in current-day southwestern United States. They refer to themselves as Numa, which translates to “people” or “human beings.” Baby will have plenty of time to enjoy all of the human experience, from saying their first word to taking their first step and beyond, and Numa will help them appreciate each moment and milestone. For an extra touch, this moniker may also have links to the Greek nomos, meaning “law” or “custom,” which may inspire baby’s future interest in law and justice.
