A member of the Alibamu people, a Native American tribe of the southeastern United States, or the language they spoke.
From the Choctaw word 'alba' (meaning 'vegetation') and 'amu' (meaning 'gathered' or 'collected'). The term was recorded by early European colonists documenting Southeastern Native American tribes.
The Alibamu gave their name to the state of Alabama—'Alabama' comes from the Choctaw 'alba amo' meaning 'vegetation gatherers,' showing how Native American languages shaped America's geography in ways we often don't realize.
