Alabama 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.The word "Alabama" translates to "tribal town" in the language of the local Creek Indians.There exist old Spanish maps showing a river with the name of "Alabamos al Señor", meaning the "We Worship God River." This might be an alternative suggestion for the origin of the name of the state: Alabamos is very close to Alabama.
