Native American Names
Replies
My favorite one in the BtN database is Zyanya! I think its absolutely gorgeous! And it means "forever, always," which is fantastic in my opinion.
The only one I can think of would be the name of a guy in my class. His name is Sadele [pronounced SAH-delay] which means "sun blood" in Cree (sa-sun, dele-blood)

Native Americans do not use Cheyenne or Cherokee as given names, as far as I know. They denote a group of people.
Also, I feel I should point out that saying "Native American Names" is a little like "European Names." It's a huge category spreading across two continents!
