Is the name Kai used in any other Native American tribes besides Navajo?
Jessib
Yes. In the Pima Nation, the given name Kai means, "seed."
Kai is not a Navajo first name. K'ai means willow but that is not the way male or female names are done in Navajo.
It is related to a word yiishk'ai "it spreads it's legs out".
It is part of a number of place names like: K'ai Bii Tó ( Kaibeto, Az) "willow springs".
Also, K'ai is not pronounced with a K but with the glottalized consonant K' which sounds very different. Kai is not even a word. To say it, try holding your breath in your throat and saying the K sound, then ai.
Most male Navajo names start with Hashké. Female Navajo names are not after plants either.
It is not sacred either, except in the sense that the whole natural world is sacred. I hope that helps.
You may be interested to know Kai is one of the best-understood and properly pronounced male names in any language. In my two and a half years of researching names and origins for my new book, Sacred Baby Names, I found twenty-five distinct languages, countries, nations or areas of origin for this interesting name.
Hope this helps.
