Alabama means "tribal town" in the Creek Indian language and "plant cutters" in Choctaw. The French recorded the Alabama River as something like "where the Alabamians live". So whatever the correct etymology is the name stuck and Alabama is named for the Native Americans that lived there.
It comes from the Alabama Indians a Native American culture that lived in the area. The name may be from the Choctaw language meaning "plant cutters" but its certain etymology is unclear. In any case they were known by that name to the early French explorers of the region.
