Yes. See related links for a sample.
Modern English names can not be translated into any native American language. If you were to meet a modern Canadian Blackfoot and told him your name is Melena, that is what he would call you - it would not be possible for him to "translate" that name into any Blackfoot word.
how do you say good night in blackfoot native american language
Dakota=========================================================Answer: There are two distinct and unconnected native groups in North America who have been given the English name "Blackfoot" or "Blackfeet".The Blackfoot Lakota are today a very small tribe (perhaps between 1,000 and 2,000 people) of the Lakota or Teton Sioux, living in South Dakota. They call themselves siha sapa. Their language is naturally part of the Siouan family.The Blackfoot confederacy of the far northern Plains (northern Montana, Saskatchewan and Alberta) consists of the Blood, Piegan and Blackfoot tribes, who speak an Algonquian language and call themselves Siksikawa or Niitsítapi. Today they number around 88,000 people.
The address of the Blackfoot Public is: 129 N Broadway, Blackfoot, 83221 0610
Blackfoot's crop is corn.

The Blackfoot word is minikxiw
In the Blackfoot language the word for daughter is:itan
Hello is OKI in Blackfoot. My name is is NII TA NIK KO.
In Blackfoot you have to express the idea with a verb, such as kitsiikákomimmo (I love you) or akomimmiyuk (love each other), or akomimmis k'inna (love your father) or nit'akomimmo (I love him).

I am assuming you mean the Blackfoot peoples of Alberta, Montana and Saskatchewan, not the Blackfoot Sioux who are an unrelated and distinct tribe with a different language. Even some Native Americans do not realise that there is a difference. The Blackfoot word for the number two is natoka, pronounced nahtohka.

The Stockbridge tribe was originally the Housatonic branch of the Mahicans, so the language they spoke is Mahican. Blackfoot is also an Algonquian language, but only very distantly related.In Mahican the word for grandfather is òmuxomunIn Blackfoot the word for grandfather is na-ahks'(literally "my grandfather")I guess that by "Fr. Canadian" you mean French Canadian, which is not a native language; "grandfather" in that language is grandpère.

The Blackfoot language has mainly short vowels, but some long vowels are indicated by doubling; in this case you say ih-mih-taah. The same word has also been recorded as omitaa and imitaawa; all mean "dog".
