Alabaman

/ˌæləˈbæmən/ noun, adjective

Definition

A person from Alabama, or an adjective describing something related to the state of Alabama.

Etymology

From Alabama, named from the Alibamu people, with the addition of the agent/demonym suffix -an to indicate a person from or thing related to that place.

Kelly Says

The word 'Alabama' itself comes from the Choctaw words alba (herb/vegetation) and amo (to gather), showing how Native American place names that survive colonization often carry hidden stories about what the land was actually called and why.
