You probably mean "AGAVE" (scientific name: "Agave sisalana" - basic for production of sisal ropes, for example -, "Agave tequilana" - for production of alcoholic beverage "tequila" -, and other species of agave too ("A. americana" / "A. attenuata" etc.).

NOTE that mezcal (from Náhuatl language "mexcalli" [ = cooked maguey ] or from "metl + ixcalli", also from Náhuatl, meaning the same) is the Mexican name of some

tequilas, originated from Mexican agaves (Mexico lies in North America!). However OTHER species of agaves do exist in South America, but they don´t serve to produce tequila or "mezcal", as in Oaxaca region of Mexico; these other are for sisal ropes and similar items or for ornaments, due to their beautiful and/or interesting leaves and/or flowers. AZTEC folks were from Mexico, having dominated large areas in Central America.

In Brazil it´s pronounced as if in English "ah-GAH-vee"; in Mexico, "ah-GAH-vea" ("ea" like in English "it", "this"; caps = stressed syllable).

How did Alabama gets its name?

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.
