My grandmother is a Fourth
Cherokee her name is
Essa Mina. I do not know is somewhere in her ancestors there are Sioux people.
I am the oldest Daughter and oldest granddaughter. I assume I am just named after her regardless of the meaning of the name. My Mother was
Sylvia Jane - this my name spelling which is not the norm but is out there.
My name is pronounced with a long I.
Mina not mean.
