Wah-ka-ken-do - the one who comes from war

[helen]

Looking for clarification of the name Wah Ka Ken Do, is there a better translation than "The one who comes from war"
Helen

Done at Fort Lookout, near the three rivers of the Sioux pass, this 22d day of June, A. D. 1825, and of the independence of the United States the forty-ninth.

I think it would be fun to play around with translating these Yankton chiefs names. I wonder if someone on the Yankton Rez would have a better handle on these names.
Maw-too-sa-be-kia (mato = bear, sabe = dirty, kiya = cause it to happen).
Wacan-o-hi-gnan (Wakan= holy; o =in, kinyan= to fly).
Wah-ha-ginga (Waksica = dish, Cika = small)
Cha-pon-ka (Caponka = Mosquito)
Eta-ke-nus-ke-an (Ite = face, Knaskinyan = driven crazy)
To-ka-oo (Toka = enemy, O = to hit or shoot)
O-ga-tee (Ozate = fork in the road or river)
You-ia-san (zuya = war, s'a = continually)
Wah-ta-ken-do (?)
To-qui-in-too (?)
Ha-sas-hah (Hasapa (?)
