Alabama

Alabama is the name of the American state, derived from the Alabama or Alibamu people, a Native American Muscogee tribe whose name may mean thicket clearers or those who clear the land in the Muscogee language. The Alabama River was named for the tribe and the state for the river. As a pet name, Alabama has a distinctly Southern American character, warmth, and a connection to the deep cultural and natural history of the southeastern United States.

Alabama is a name with soul. Rich with Southern American character, the warmth of the Deep South, and a connection to Native American heritage that gives it genuine depth, it suits a female companion with a generous, unhurried spirit and perhaps a fondness for warm sunshine and wide open lawns. Whether your companion is a Southern belle by temperament or simply an animal whose laid-back ease seems to belong to a slower, warmer pace of life, Alabama is a name that carries heat, history, and considerable beauty.
