Sedona

Sedona is a name derived from the city of Sedona, Arizona, which is famous for its stunning red rock formations and natural beauty. The name itself comes from the Spanish word 'sedona,' meaning 'sienna-colored,' which refers to the vibrant reddish-orange hue of the rocks found in the area.

The city of Sedona was named after Sedona Arabella Miller Schnebly, the wife of one of the area's early settlers. The name gained popularity as a given name in the late 20th century, likely due to the growing interest in nature-inspired names and the natural beauty of the city.

As a name, Sedona has a unique and appealing sound, with a soft and feminine quality. It evokes images of the great outdoors, adventure, and a connection with nature.

While Sedona is traditionally considered a feminine name, some parents have chosen to use it as a unisex name, perhaps drawn to its strong and earthy connotations.
