"Yaki" was first adapted in Sri Lanka in 1525 by a French Tribal group known as the Yakians.  During their early settlement, they harvested unusal Burgundy corn husks and traded it with the local populous.  They became known as the YAKIs shortly after their pilgrimege to the Americas in the late 19th century.

I'm going to assume you are asking what your name=Alyssa means in Cheyenne (Indian). Most American names don't have an equal meaning in Native Indian cultures.

Roanoke County’s name comes from the Indian word “Rawenok,” which means wampum. These were white shell beads worn by Native Americans. This explanation was handed down from Captain John Smith who wrote about the origin of Roanoke Island in North Carolina’s Albemarle Sound

If you want to go the way of genealogy then you would trace back through the Dawes rolls or The list of Native americans that were forced to move from their home lands to Ks. and Oklahoma.\nOr you could contact the Native American geneology Society in The Carolinas( North and South Carolina)

I fear your co worker is mistaken. \nResearchers have proven that the DNA of native americans came from asia. They have the black hair and blood types common to asians, not to Israelites.\nOne more hole shot in the Mormon bible....

Because no one here is really native to this land, other than the true Native Americans.  I answer, Canadian - but I can break it down even more than that.  Many people have parents that are from the 'old country'.  I think these questions are asked to learn more about where someone's last name comes from, but more so, just a friendly and non-intrusive way to carry on a conversation.  \n\nOh and on a side note, thanks for your best answer rating - I find you all over the place 'out here'  perhaps you could write to me?

native to what land? india? then yes.\nif you mean native americans, then "indian" was a misnomer. when columbus landed here, he hoped he had landed in india. "indians" would have made sense if he was correct.\nthe name just stuck. like many things in history and language. \n:D

There is a town in England called 'Warwick' and it is very common that family names in England can originate from the town of the families origin, many many, years ago. There are names around today, in many countries around the world, that still originate from the families ancestoral homes in Northern Europe/Britain. Go to this website and try to find your surname origins.........it will tell you which regions in England have that surname, maybe its english, maybe its not, but i think so as Warick is a very old town and many surnames come from them.....even though the spelling has an extra 'r' in the middle.
