Ohanzee - Behind the Name
Ohanzee, a Native American name originating from the Sioux tribe, was selected by the founders to represent the company's core principles. The word's beauty and depth of meaning align with the founders' personal and spiritual beliefs. Among its symbolic meanings is “shadow,” suggesting the company's approach to security: quiet, observant, and perceptive protector. Ohanzee also signifies strength, wisdom, resilience, and a deep respect for ancestral traditions.
The founders' shared heritage as 3rd generation Chicago Police Officers is a significant influence on Ohanzee Security. Their pride in this lineage and the department's history of service informs their commitment to community. They value the lessons passed down through generations of officers, alongside their own professional experiences. The name Ohanzee’s association with nature and abstract concepts holds particular meaning for the company, given the co-founder's background as an Eagle Scout and his passion for the outdoors.
Ohanzee Security strives to be the embodiment of the name's powerful connotations: strength, pride, keen observation, and meaningful connection. By drawing upon the wisdom of the past, we aim to be your quiet, confident, “guardian in the shadows.”
