Tennessee

Tennessee is a Native American gender-neutral name most recognizable from the US state. Located in the southeast, Tennessee is known for its incredible country music scene. Its name is said to derive from the Cherokee language, specifically the word tanasi, meaning "winding river." Other sources link Tennessee to Tana-tsee-dgee, a Yuchi phrase that translates to "where the waters meet." American playwright Tennessee Williams chose this state name as his pen name, while actor Reese Witherspoon picked it for her son in 2012. Whether honoring your and your child's roots or taking inspiration from talented artists, Tennessee is a stand-out choice for your new addition.
