cawanua Asked:

What is origin of my name? What does it mean?

Kawanayah

My name is spelled Cawanua and pronounced Ka wan yah.. I was born in 1942 in Eastern North Carolina.  It would be an understatement to say my name was unusual, especially for the time period and for a caucasion. I was told by my mother that there was Native American heritage in our background. I also suspect middle eastern or Native American heritage on my father's side.  Aside from a mtDNA test which said I was 6% NA, I have no other information. Is it possible to trace the origin of my given name?
