There is not a "Native American" language, there are in fact over 4,000 of them and you would need to be more specific about the language before this could be answered.

∙ 9y agoThere is no language called "American Indian". There are 296 spoken (or formerly spoken) indigenous languages north of Mexico, 269 of which are grouped into 29 families (the remaining 27 languages are either isolates or unclassified). They bear little or no relation to one another. However, proper names are usually not changed in translation unless they contain sounds not used in that language.
Even if a name's meaning could be translated, often it does not fit into cultural naming traditions.
Other times you could translate it but it is not often done.
For example: Rowan means little red head. In Navajo, łichíí yázhí or just chíí. It is a name that is used but more often now as a last name. Also, łichí'í can mean "albino" because of the red eyes.
