Count: 0 — No verifiable Native American girl names that start with V were found. This reflects a real linguistic pattern: many Indigenous languages of North America historically lack the /v/ sound or do not use the Latin letter V in standard transliteration, so authentic, well-documented names rarely begin with V. Notice that lists elsewhere that show V names usually contain English, Spanish, or modern inventions rather than names traced to a specific tribal language and source.

Expect this absence for clear reasons. Many Native languages use different consonant inventories and orthographies, so sounds that map to V in English are written or pronounced with W, B, F, or other letters when names are transliterated. Colonial record-keeping and modern anglicization also introduced European names and spellings that look Native but are not rooted in tribal languages. Require verifiable tribal-language dictionaries, works by Native authors, or academic sources before accepting a name as authentically Native.

Broaden the search and proceed with care. Look for authentic names that begin with similar sounds or with W, B, or F, and search by specific tribal languages rather than by English letters alone. Consult tribal language resources, Native scholars, and academic dictionaries for citations. Prioritize respectful use, document sources, and avoid adopting names without community guidance.
