Yes. The word kola was given to me by a native American from the Cherokee Nation in NC.

And just to add, Kola means friend in Sioux. I would know, my name is Kola. :)

How do you pronounce hua kola in Native American language?

Hau Kola is Sioux and it is pronounced like: HOW KO-laah and it basically means "greetings friend" or "hello friend". Although it is important to remember that english is an entirely different language with similar sounds but they are not exactly the same sounds as are pronounced in Sioux. So "Hau" sounds very similar to "How" but they are not exactly the same. When I pronounce "Hau", to me it feels more like a single syllable combination of "haa" + "oo" more than it feels like the english word "how". ~ Zoon
