You know, this name has multiple meanings. Mine is used in the Native American (Navajo) meaning, 'Willow Tree'. In Japanese, it's a boy's name and means 'Release'

This is my grandpas name and will be my next childs name. I've only heard it as a boys name. If we have a girl we will be adding an 'a' to the end.

Only for Kais!
