The state of Alabama was named
after the river. The Alabama River was named by early European
explorers after the Indian tribe that lived in the territory and
first appeared in 1540 spelled as "Alibamu", "Alibamo" and even "Limamu"
in the journals of the Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto
(c.1500-1542).
The origin of the name Alabama is
thought to come from a combination of two Choctaw words; Alba and
Amo. In Choctaw, "Alba" means vegetation, herbs, plants and "Amo"
means gatherer or picker. "Vegetation gatherers" would be an apt
description for the Alabama Indians who cleared much land for
agricultural purposes.
