I've done a small bit of research on this already but I need some more nuanced answers. I understand that many Lakota people tend to have Lakota names given to them either at birth or through ceremony.
I am writing a character for a book who is Lakota. And to put it simply I would like to know if some names are only given through ceremony rather than given by parents, and if there are ceremonial names that are off limits due to being more sacred or bestowed for specific deeds that the individual is being recognized for.
I would hate to give my character a Lakota name that is only given for someone who showed valor in battle or reserved for someone in an important leadership position.
Any advice or resources on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
