Native American Name

Zephyr Panda











Zephyr Panda means "The West Wind Panda." I choose this name because it means how I can flow along with problems that face my way. Seeing that I am easy going and follow whatever is in the lead, just like the wind. Panda shows the nationality in me, knowing where my heredity comes from. Panda is a symbol of China, showing the Chinese ancestry. Since I'm able to flow along with others, that means I'm able to have very high patience. The name Zephyr Panda fits me well since it follows along with my personality.
