Is it Longmire? (I know he's not *really* a cowboy, but he fits the aesthetic and there are seriously not a lot of cowboy shows airing atm).

Either way, if you wanted to feel better about the situation, would imagining a back history for the character where he had some Native American ancestry that he might not even about, and that's how he got his name, help at all? Alternatively, researching your name, and finding out how it came to be (or likely came to be) your family's name might give you some peace about sharing it with this character.

Also, I know this is obviously a sensitive topic and I'm not Native American so I can't relate, but I am interested in how a show about cowboys can be your favourite show but the only part that offends you is that one of the cowboy characters shares your name. Does that maybe take you out of the fantasy of the show (enjoying it for the story it is and not relating it to what actually happened in history)? Reflecting on the reasons you like the show and how you rationalise that might help you continue to enjoy it despite the name issue, if that is what you want to do.
