Independence First Name Meaning

Independence is a female name of American origin, meaning "Freedom." It symbolizes the condition of self-governance and sovereignty, free from colonialism and external interference. The distinction between independence and autonomy is that autonomy is granted by an overseeing authority, while independence entails complete sovereignty. The right to independence has been a crucial point of discussion, with the 20th century witnessing a wave of decolonization and the issuance of declarations of independence by states seeking freedom from dominating powers. Historically, there have been four major periods of declaring independence, marking significant shifts in global power dynamics. The name Independence embodies the spirit of liberation and self-determination, reflecting the desire for freedom and equality.
