Tequoia is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. Derived from the Spanish word 'tequoiztli', which translates to 'resinous liquid of the tequizquite tree', Tequoia was originally used as an herbal remedy by indigenous peoples in Mexico. The name gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, likely influenced by its connection to nature and the growing trend of using eco-friendly and botanically inspired names. Today, Tequoia remains a uncommon yet memorable choice for parents seeking a unique moniker for their child.
