It is probably taken from the Choctaw language where the word Alba means plants or weeds and amo for 'to cut' when combined it was 'plant cutters' which was their name for the Native American people of present day Alabama. Another translation of the meaning of the tribe's name often given is Here we rest. The etymology of the name may be obscure but it was the accepted name for the Alabama Indians and is the state's name.
