Kat, I live in northeastern Oklahoma, where native speakers of Cherokee are quite numerous. I telephoned the Language Services division of the Cherokee Nation Cultural Resource Center in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and obtained this information: In the Cherokee language, Tsinogena = (my] arm. Uhyusti = strong. Uhyusti'tsinogena = Strong of Arm, which is the original meaning of the English name "Armstrong," according to this site: http://hate.systs.net/~shiko/Naming/Male_A.html A fascinating note: My source at the Language Services division says that when the news of the first moon landing was delivered through Cherokee news sources in 1969, the name of astronaut Neil Armstrong was given, parenthetically, as "Uhyusti'tsinogena." Thank you for asking such an interesting question. I hope this information is useful to you. Best regards, pinkfreud |

You can find an English-Cherokee dictionary that lists "strong" and "arm" at the following address. However, the dictionary is insufficient to answer the question without some additional knowledge of the language. http://www.wehali.com/tsalagi/index.cfm |
