Meaning & History

Short form of Kaya'aton'my', a name invented for the Native American girl of the Nimíipuu or Nez Percé tribe in the American Girl series of dolls, accompanied by books. The doll was the eighth historical character in the series and released together with the book in 2002.

It was made clear by the creators that in reality a Nez Percé girl wouldn't shorten her name, however it was used in this manner to make it easier for younger readers.
