Native American Names?

I'm looking for Native American names, or to be more specific, Cherokee Indian names. My great-great-grandmother was full blooded Cherokee. I already have Gaelic and German names to honor the rest of my known heritage, but now I'm looking for names to honor this part.





I need Native American or Cherokee Indian names for boys and girls.

Native American Names?
Do it the correct way and ask a local elder or community member. I am Odawa, so I am unfamiliar with Cherokee naming--but our names, unlike the European way, are not simply given to us by our parents when we are born. And they definitely are not simply picked from a paperback book grabbed off the shelf before the checkout counter. There's obviously more to it.





I would definitely suggest talking to an elder or community member. Even if there is more to the deal than just picking a name from a book, it may prove worthwhile to actually take part in their ways of doing things. You might take more home than just a name :)
Reply:Meli- pronounced "may-lee", is a Cherokee variant of Mary.
