Lakota Name Translations
« Thread Started on Dec 8, 2007, 11:00pm »

I will try to translate the few Lakota names we have for Colombe family members.

Jean Baptiste "John" Colombe, aka Wasichu Hou Skah = "White Legs White Man," or "White Man With White Leggings."

Josephine Colombe, aka Gi Lar. Gi = "Brown," Lar (?) = possibly "Think of (?)."

William Colombe, aka Kah wi chau Ki chi zee = "To Continue Fighting (?)."

Edward Colombe, aka Gi low gor. Gi = "Brown." Low may mean "soft?" Gor may be Gu = "burn."

Jennie (Colombe) Mullen, aka Zoo win lar. Zu = "Put," win = "woman," lar may mean "go."

Amy Mullen, aka Woe chi ki chau ya. Wocekiye = "prayer." Not sure about this one.
