Native american names? how to pronounce?
You may have the word misspelled. Here is the correct translation of "attractive" in Cherokee:





English


Attractive





Cherokee





Phonetic


U li lo hi





I have also provided you a link to the Cherokee Nation website, directly to an english/cherokee translation toolbar where you can type in any english word and learn how to say it in Cherokee. Most words also will let you hear someone saying the words in Cherokee too. This will be the first link under "Sources" below.





I am Cherokee, living on reservation lands in Oklahoma. I do geneaology when I have time, which is rare these days!





If you are interested in learning more about Native Americans, their heritage, history, customs, geneaology, etc. then I welcome you to look at my list of research links. I have compiled this list over my years of scouring the internet for information. There are about 2,000 (give or take a few) different books and informational articles represented here.





I have published this list in an online news syndication called Associated Content for the benefit of the general public and anyone who is interested in Native Americans or related topics. I hope that you can find the information you seek! I would suggest looking at the link from the University of Virginia first, however, as this takes you to a huge, extensive, gigantic database with an unbelievable amount of information on all sorts of topics. They have a whole bunch of full text e-books and some even are regular books that have been scanned in, even some rare historical documents.





In any case, the link to my compiled list is below under "Sources". Please make yourself at home and use any or all information however you wish.





Good luck to you!
