Lakota term: woslata?

[Jonathan Holmes]

I have seen in many texts that "Standing Rock" (i.e. Standing Rock Sioux Reservation) is translated into Lakota as Inyan Woslata. 
   
  While I know inyan refers to "rock" or "stone", I had always understood nazin as the term used for "to stand still" or "to be standing". 
   
  Therefore, could someone help me in determining the proper translation for woslata.
   
  Thanks,
  Jonathan
