My favorite Cherokee Name is Maleta, and it belonged to my Great-Grandmother. Everyone called her "Connie", but this was during a time when people actively discriminated against Native Americans. Not a problem now.





If you are Cherokee yourself, this might be a nice way to honor your heritage. Personally, I'd pair it with a more common middle name in case she hates the name later on. W. Melissa LastName or W. Elizabeth LastName - something that she could use later on as a name by itself.
Reply:I like the name, but it may make things difficult for your child unless you live in an area with a high Native American population.
Reply:No. Are you sure that it's Cherokee? A lot of the baby names websites have the American Indian names wrong.
