Sedona is a place name from Arizona, where the red rock town of Sedona was named in 1902 after Sedona Schnebly, the wife of its first postmaster; her unusual first name was invented by her mother and has no recorded meaning, so it is best described as "red rock town" by association. It joins Savannah and Dakota among American place names for girls. Sedona has climbed from number 2583 in 2015 to number 1591 in 2025, its best rank ever.
