For boys, Lakota naming customs often highlight bravery, harmony with nature, or revered warrior traits. A name might reference animals like the eagle, known for vision and guardianship, or reflect elemental forces like the wind. Whether chosen by a grandparent or inspired by community legends, Lakota boy names reinforce a collective identity that embraces responsibility, cultural dignity, and unbroken ties to the Great Plains.
