What do these names mean in Native American Indian Language?

0

There is no such thing as a single Native American language. There have literally been thousands of tribes, and many of them had their own language. There is also no concept of a name in different languages. Barbara, for example, is Barbara. It is not tied to any particular language and has no translation. However, it is true that one can find SIMILAR names in other SIMILAR languages. For example, a Spanish-speaking equivalent to Steven might be Esteban. This has to do with the origin of the name. So to answer your question in the most practical way, you COULD look for the etymology of a name on a site like www.behindthename.com, and then you could work to find a translation of that concept in the language of your choice. The most-spoken languages are Navajo, Dakota, and Central Alaskan Yup’ik if you need to pick one.
