Uto-aztecan is a family of languages. It like "Indo-European". Whitney doesn't mean anything in any of them. If you need a translation of a word, be more specific.

Uto-Aztecan is, as a previous answer states, a family of a couple dozen languages. Do you have a specific language you are interested in? Mount Whitney, the highest mountain in California, is in the vicinity of a couple of Uto-Aztecan languages, but is named after a European, it is not a Uto-Aztecan word.
