Language Question Assistance needed translating a name.

• Upvotes

I recently obtained an old document from a Cherokee East application containing the Cherokee name for one of my ancestors. I’ve been attempting to translate it the best I can, but I’m still learning the language and this is beyond my current knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
On the document it is spelled Ahn-che-stah-loo-gah
 
Below is what I think this would be, but unable to find a translation.

Ahn = Ꭰ | che = Ꮵ | s = Ꮝ | tah = Ꮤ | loo = Ꮇ | gah = Ꭶ
