Help[Facts] Re: Mina - A Sioux Name?
in reply to a message by Ellen 2
That it's in the list, yes, that it's a sioux name, it appears not. According to the New Lakota dictionary, the Lakota words for "oldest daughter" or "firstborn daughter" are witȟókapȟa or Winúŋna, the latter apparently may reflect Dakota dialect influence (i.e. the name Winona). miná! in Lakota is used by women as an interjection expressing real or feigned fear or surprise.
