* Mabila, Alibamu which is the origin of the term "Mobilian" and means the "Mabila" Indians who were members of the Alibamu tribe (the name Alibamu means "brush gatherers" in the Choctaw Indian language). Thus, when we combine the names Mabila and Alibamu we have "paddlers" and "brush gatherers" which seems very appropriate for the local Indians that paddled canoes and gathered brush and other items (such as Palmetto leaves) along rivers and streams for their villages.
