ArchivesThe meaning of Tinaya or Tenaya
Hoping to find the meaning of a name of this sound. We would like to name our baby this. We heard it on the bionic woman relating to a female mountain Puma. Who's name was Tinaya or Tenaya (spelling unsure)in Indian legend. Possible meaning golden Demon.

Wasn’t it said in that episode meaning “golden demon”? Many years ago, I named my Siamese cat that because I watched that episode...but we spelled it “Tanaya” because I was unsure of correct spelling.

There's a restaurant near my house bearing the name Tenaya. That is all.

I hope the baby is a boy...
Because Tenaya was the name of a legendary chief of the Miwok tribe in the Yosemite Valley:

Couldn't find the meaning of the name, tho'. And, on second thought... To English-speaking people the name "Tenaya" might appear more feminine than masculine.
