There are 5 schools in the USA with the word wenonah in the name.

The word "Wenonah" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its roots in Native American history and culture. Historically, "Wenonah" is a name of Dakota origin, often interpreted to mean "first-born daughter." The use of the name reflects a broader American tradition of naming places, schools, and towns after indigenous words or figures as a way of acknowledging or romanticizing the region's early history. In many communities, choosing such a name for a school helps to honor local heritage or evoke a sense of connection to the land's original inhabitants. Over time, as towns and neighborhoods adopted the name Wenonah, it naturally extended to elementary, middle, and high schools within those areas, further cementing its presence in educational institutions across the country.
