Nebraska, derived from the Otoe words "Ní Btháska", meaning "flat water", is a state name used as a given name, particularly for females. It is inspired by the state of Nebraska in the United States, which was named after the Nebraska River, and ultimately by the Native American tribe who lived there. The name Nebraska has been used sparingly but not uncommonly throughout history, with its usage peaking in the early 20th century before declining in recent years. It is a unique and distinctive name that carries a sense of geographical history and cultural heritage.
Over the span of more than a century (from 1908 to 2023), Nebraska has recorded 42 births with the name Nebraska.
