Hi. I am looking for the meaning and/or meaning of the name Rewanna. I believe it may be Native American. My Grandmother found the name in a book.

Have you thought of asking your Grandmother if you could have a look at that same book?

My Grandmother died in 1968.

Oh, well that certainly complicates things! :) I see you've already posted a query on the Native Talk message board, which was a good idea, Rewanna. The only literary character I can recall who had a name even vaguely close to yours was "Rowena", from Sir Walter Scott's novel, *Ivanhoe*. But Rowena wasn't Native American.

Good luck in your searching! And, if you find out what the name means on one of the Native American message boards, please come back and let us know! :)
