Meaning & History
Means "when the sun rises", "first peaks", "a new day", in the South Slavey language. This name became notable in 2015 when a mother in the Northwest Territories in Canada was forced to change the glottal stop in her daughter's name to a hyphen. This name is a cognate to the Chipewyan name Sahaiʔa, which had a similar situation where its glottal stop was also changed to a hyphen.
