Omâciw Origin and Meaning

The name Omâciw is a boy's name meaning "big game hunter".

An outdoorsy name of Cree origin, Omâciw, sometimes spelled without the diacritics, refers to a hunter, specifically a hunter of large wild animals such as bears and elks.

A bit of trivia: there is a fossil of a tylosaur (a 70 million year old marine reptile) that was discovered on the shores of Lake Diefenbaker in Canada back in the 90s who was given the name Omaciw.
