ArchivesTranslation of a name
Hi,
My son whose name is Corey Waylon has been trying to figure out the Native American translation of his name. I do know that Corey is Scottish for seething pool, and actually I'm not sure what the meaning of Waylon is, and yes, his last name is Jennings..but we were very interested in finding the translation to these names for him.
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

You can't translate a name into "Native American", because it isn't a language. It's like saying "European" or "African".
Also, I believe it's very difficult to translate a name to a Native American language. Names from European languages haven't got any equivalents in these languages, since Native Americans often got their names from a special event or weather phenomenon at their birth and in many tribes a person changed his/her name later in life.
