Calsina or Seyna name origin

Hello! My grandfather's aunt, Calsina Elizabeth Franklin, was about 1/4 Cherokee and also Creek. I am trying to uncover the significance of the name Calsina. It seems very unusual. I've done quite a bit of genealogicial searching and have only encountered that name one or two other times. The name seems to be linked to those who have an American Indian heritage. The name also seems to be a popular Spanish surname. Some people shortened her name and called her Sina (rhymes with whiney) while those closest to her called her Puki (rhymes with cookie). I wonder if these names have any importance in Cherokee or Creek culture. I am grateful for any and all information. Thanks! P.S. I am also curious about the name Seyna, which was Calsina's mother's name. Thanks.

Hello Mrs. Vaughn,
As you can see my second surname is Calsina. In Spain where I come from we take first the surname of the father (Pla) and then the surname of the mother (Calsina). I don't know the origin of the surname Calsina. I come from a region in the North of Spain which is called Catalonia. I just know 2 people with such a surname and they all come from (my grandfather too) a place near the city of Barcelona which is called Igualada.
Hoping it can help you with your search trying to find the origin of the surname Calsina. I was surprised to discover that there was a Cherokee called Calsina.
Please let me know if you discover something else, I'll do the same for you.
Yours truly,
Isabel Pla Calsina
