[Facts] meaning of this name
Grandmother named me because I was the first female grandchild, she passed away before I was interested in finding out the meaning of the name. I have been told it is Indian, but I have no idea what tribe or what the meaning possibly may be. Can you help me?

Hello, the name "Wahnee" has different meanings from many different Native American tribes indeed. My family name is Wahnee and it goes back more than 200 years that I know of. I belong to the Comanche tribe of Oklahoma and the meaning for "Wahnee" for us is "A Grove of Cedars". If you would like more information then please don't hesitate to email me and I will do what I can to get you some more information.

Instead of grandma, my second granddaughter called me Wahnee. I was bery proud of this name and then she heard her sister call me grandma. She still addresses me as Wahnee on cards and I love it.hqhvz

the name does sound Indian, and it could possibly mean first born which was very common in some indian tribes
