Senecca

Senecca is a gender-neutral moniker that honors the legacies of two classic communities in one. With Latin and Native American origins, Senecca is a rarely used variant of the more familiar Seneca. Meaning "old" or "an honorable elder" from the Latin senectus, Senecca may help your little one appreciate the sacred history of their senior family and community members. Outside of its Classic Roman influences, Senecca may have ties to the Iroquian tribe known as the Seneca Nation of Indians, a group of Indigenous people who initially lived in the area of modern-day New York. The tribal name means "place of stones" or "People of the Standing Stone," referring to their surrounding environment. Let's hope baby Senecca will understand the importance of building a long-lasting community with their loved ones and neighbors, carrying tales for future generations to enjoy.
