English or Christian names cannot be directly translated to Tsalagi (The Cherokee Language), in some cases you can research your name to its root origins / definitions and then translate that root definition in Tsalagi. For example: If your name's root origin was Mary which is Hebrew for "Bitter" you could then translate that into the Tsalagi word for "Bitter." Please remember though that this is not a 'proper' translation and you would most likely get strange looks trying to use such a translated name.
