I am assuming you mean the Blackfoot peoples of Alberta, Montana and Saskatchewan, not the Blackfoot Sioux who are an unrelated and distinct tribe with a different language. Even some Native Americans do not realise that there is a difference. The Blackfoot word for the number two is natoka, pronounced nahtohka.
Countryman is not a native American name.
Yes and No. The name is not exclusive to Native American's.

Modern English names can not be translated into any native American language. If you were to meet a modern Canadian Blackfoot and told him your name is Melena, that is what he would call you - it would not be possible for him to "translate" that name into any Blackfoot word.
Many Native American names have specific meanings for each person. The Native American name for "quiet one" is the name Lakota.
There are MANY Native American languages. Each tribe has its own language. So there is no one translation for any name or word. You would have to ask what the name is in a particular Native American language, like for instance, Cherokee, or Apache, or Cree, or Dakota, or Mohawk, or Navajo, and on and on.
The word for Little Helper in Lakota is: Cheekahla Okeecheeyah.
There are more than 700 different Native American languages. You would need to specify which one you are talking about. Side note: the name Frank won't have a translation into any of them because its meaning doesn't have a word in any Native American language (It means "Frenchman").
The name Amanda does not have a direct translation in Native American languages, as it is of Latin origin meaning "worthy of love." Different Native American tribes have their own languages and naming conventions, often reflecting nature, animals, or personal attributes. For specific translations, one would need to refer to the language of a particular tribe.
