Alabaman.adj.

Brit.

/ˌaləˈbamə/, U.S.

/ˌæləˈbæmə/

Inflections: Plural Alabamas, unchanged.

Forms:

α. 1700s Albama, 1700s Alibamou, 1700s Allabahamah, 1700s Allibamou, 1700s Habbamala, 1700s Halbama, 1700s Holbamah, 1800s Alibamies (plural), 1800s Allibama, 1800s Allibamis (plural), 1800s Holbama, 1800s– Alabama, 1800s– Alibama, 1800s– Alibamo, 1800s– Alibamu.

β. 1700s Allibamon, 1700s– Alibamon, 1800s Alebamon.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from French. Or perhaps a borrowing from Spanish. Etymons: French Alibamou; Spanish Alibamo.

Etymology: Probably < (i) French †Alibamou (1713), †Alibamon (1720), Alabama (1795 or earlier), and its etymon (ii) Spanish Alibamo (16th cent.), apparently < an unattested earlier form of Alabama albaamo member of the Alabama people (plural albaamaha). Compare German †Alibamon (1720, apparently < French; now Alabama).A suggested derivation < Choctaw (as mentioned in quot. 1907 at sense A.) is unlikely. The name of the people was also used by European settlers as a river name, and subsequently as the name of the territory. Following European settlement from 1702, the area was first governed by the French until 1763 (as part of French Louisiana) and later came under British and Spanish control; it was annexed by the United States in 1810 and became a state in 1819.

A. n.

A member of a North American Indian people formerly inhabiting the area around the Alabama river in the south-eastern United States. Now chiefly historical.
