One quick fix before I get technical on you is to find the European (or wherever) origin of the name you wish to translate and use that information to arrive at the "base" meaning of the name and then apply that information in the new formulation of the translated name. All names, first or last have some origin and meaning, somewhere. For example if Cooper means barrel maker, you might find a similar meaning native word for someone who is artistic or works with their hands such as "basket weaver". Not an exact translation, but then again, what is?
"Cherokee" is what the Creek (I think) guides told the first explorers, when they asked what the other tribe was called. It really means people of a different language. Kind of like you asking me "Who's in the yard next door?" and me saying "My neighbours" and you telling everyone the Smiths, who live next door to me, are the "Mynaybor" tribe or an Englishman asking a Frenchman who the Germans are. A Frenchman's answer would be "Il est allemand" but if he asked the German himself, the German would say, "Deutschlander" or "Ich bin Deutsch". So technically, it would be as if we all learned to call the Germans, the Allemand because the French "discovered" them.
First of all please note that I am a student of this subject and not a teacher. I recommend this website for some help with your question. It has some links which you can use accordingly and since you seem to be interested, some other information you may find helpful such as animal names and other often used words and phrases of the Tsalagi or "Cherokee" language.
As for names it is best, as well as appropriate to get assistance from a tribal member for such requests. Although the Cherokee do have a written alphabet, certain aspects of it are quite different than the European alphabet and there are also some vocal differences in proper pronunciation. Most of these differences are covered at least somewhat on the site listed above.
If you cannot get to the sight by this link, please simply enter these two words, Cherokee language, in your browser and it should be close to, if not your first hit. Good luck and please pass on the importance of Native languages, culture, lifestyles and history to all who will listen, especially the children, our next generation of leaders and perhaps we can all work together to right some of the many, many wrongs of our European ancestors.

Where did the Cherokees live at?
The Cherokee's first lived in what is now Arkansas and portions of southern North Carolina. In fact, by a signed treaty the Cherokee entered into an agreement with the United States to take the land, now known as Arkansas and formed "The Cherokee Nation." When gold was discovered in Arkansas, General Tyler was dispatched to 'relocate' the Cherokee Nation, although they were a viable entity. This move characterized by 'The Trail of Tears' is when the Cherokee were relocated to Oklahoma; in an attempt to kill all Cherokee's General and later President Tyler issued blankets infected with the small pox virus to the freezing Cherokee.

How did US President John Tyler increase presidential control of information to Congress?
The ever developing presidential claim to control the flow of information, and deny Congress and the public of official actions, was given a boast by President John Tyler. In 1843, Congress asked for Army reports on the Cherokee land frauds. Tyler denied Congress its request. He used the occasion to add a new category to the list of presidential discretion. That being the ability to not release any information on ongoing investigations.
