That is not as simple as it sounds. Female names often end with the element -win (woman) and you might guess that simply adding a verb "whisper" before this element would give the correct translation, but Lakota is much more complex than that.
In Lakota the verb ozi means to whisper to someone else about secret schemes; okichizizi means to whisper to each other (more than one person involved); azizi is to whisper about someone or something specific in their absence; zizilowan is to sing in a whisper or very softly (like a lullaby) or to hum to oneself.
So, depending on the exact meaning, you could say oziwin, or okichiziziwin, or aziziwin, or zizilowanwin. The n indicates a nasalised n which is sometimes hardly pronounced at all.
