What is Kayla in native american?
There is no (single) Native American language (see linked question below).
Also, "Christian" names do not have any meaning in any one of the many native languages in question.
In 'some' cases a loose translation of the name can be made into specific native languages. Kayla's European origin is 'Pure' and 'Pure' is a concept word that does not exist in native languages. Clean does exist, but has a slightly different meaning, and in these languages it would be:
Cherokee "Clean" :: U da nv ga lv da (pronounced: Oo-daa-not-gaa-lot-daa)*
Please Note: Different area's and dialects will influence how the word is pronounced, the example here is simply to help you in how the word sounds in general.

There are MANY Native American languages. Each tribe has its own language. So there is no one translation for any name or word.

What is the Navajo word for parting?
Even if I knew, I doubt there is a written word for it. Navajo had an unbeatable advantage as a code in WW2 because it was a spoken language only, and an illegal language until the US found a use for it. Suggest you try Navajo and "translation." Who knows? A written language was created for Cherokee, so maybe there are ones for other American native languages, or at least phonetic equivalents. Also, some words do not exist in some languages. For example, French has no word for "shallow." This made a problem when using Navajo as a military radio code, as some military terms did not exist in the Navajo language.
