"Hateya"

[From my new "Proud, Strong and Beautiful" Collection: https://opensea.io/collection/proudstrongbeautiful]

Hateya is a Native American girl’s name.

It is a modern derivation of the Miwok word “ha t’ej,” meaning “press with the foot” or “make tracks.”

Many sites state that it means “footprints in the sand,” but this could be an embellishment.

It’s possible that Hateya could be an anglicization of a longer Miwok name that did have this meaning.
