I ran across this looking for the meaning of my name. I do not know the author of this request, but my name is also Dewanna. My mother heard it when my father was in the army in Kansas. I’ve always assumed it was a Native American name also, but probably not Cherokee. I’m 63, so at the time I was born, my name truly was uncommon. Today, it blends in with modern culture. To the person who first asked about this name…..I’m sure I’m much older than you, so it’s nice to see I’m not alone hoping there’s more to my name than “ something someone just made up”. Let’s give the name a meaning it deserves….strong, loving, kind and unique. Does that fit you too Dewanna? Let’s both just be proud of who we are and let the name reflect on that.
