Philologists Find New
Meaning for “Alabama”
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 17.—
Popular belief that “Alabama,” trans
lated from the tribal Indian tongue,
means “here we rest,” has been dealt
a jolt under the light of philological
research.
This more pleasing translation, ac
cording to the 1923 issue of the Ala
bama Official and Statistical Register
just off the press, originated during
the early fifties and gained wide
spread popularity through the writ
ings of Judge A. B. Meek.
“Alabama” was the name of a noted
southern tribe of Indians, .whose hab
itat was in what is now central Ala
bama, the register says. The largest
river of this territory was named af
ter the Alabama Indians and the state
derived its name from this river.
Recent investigations have brought
forth an agreement between two prom
inent students of Indian dialects, the
book says. Dr. Allen Wright, a high
ly educated Choctaw, translates the
word to signify “thicket clearers.”
His opinion is that the word is com
pounded from “Alba,” meaning a
thicket or mass of vegetation, and
“atno,” meaning to clear, or to gather
up.
H. S. Halbert, another student of
tribal dialects, concurs in this belief,
giving a slightly different translation
“vegetation gatherers.”
Compared to the heretofore readily
accepted translation of “Here We
rest,” the register says, this latest
etymology may be regarded a trifle
prosaic, but, it reasons, it more near
ly represents the character of the
Alabamans of today and of the past,
who hav edepended upon their labor
with the soil for livelihood.
