Re: Tayari
My granddaughter's name is Tayari. We were told it is an Indian name, so now I'm confused. Could it be a Native Indian name, specifically from Mexico??

It could be, but you get a lot of these stories and almost all of them are not. Given the history of race relations in the US I suspect it may be a story meant to hide African ancestry. A lot of people believed it was far more acceptable to be part native American than part African.
