Pelican
In Native American traditions, specifically Omaha-Ponca, Shada is a name associated with the pelican. It is a rare nature-inspired name that carries a sense of grace and distinctiveness. While its usage in the United States is very limited, it offers a unique alternative to more common avian-inspired names.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Shada in 2025.
