Hołdzilei
Níhízhi’-Our Name
Like most Dine words, Hołdzilei has no one translation to English, but many translations in Navajo. All of which relate to being, doing and establishing strength. In the word lies the root word, dzi or dzih, which translates to breathe, breathing, life, living. Another root word is dził which translates most commonly to mountain; strong foundation. Another word you can derive from Hołdzilei is shidziil, bidziil, nihizhiil, which translates to I am strong, she/he is strong, we are strong.
