The answer previously given is close, but not exactly accurate. The Cherokee word for man is *A-sga-ya.* When that word is spoken it is often contracted to sound like *a-sky.* The Cherokee word for little is u-sdi. When the two words are brought together the word for man is contracted even further so that the Cherokee name *Little man* is spoken as *Sky-u-sdi.*
