Meaning and history
This name comes from the giant trees that grow in California. The tree was named either from Latin sequor, meaning “to follow” or “to come next in sequence,” or possibly after the 19th-century Cherokee scholar Sequoyah, also known as George Guess, who created the Cherokee writing system.
