The name "Alapaha" was included, along with hundreds of Native American words, in mid-19th-century pronunciation guides as both a river and a village. Even then, opinions differed as to the proper pronunciation of the word, whether it was "A-LAP-Uh-ha," or "A-LAP-uh-haw." These guides offer no speculation as to the word's meaning.
There were many variant names, pronunciations, and spellings of the Alapaha River operant in the late 19th century. Some ethnologists believe that "Alapaha" was the Creek word for "other side;" others believe it was the Timucua language word for "bear." At least one ethnolinguist believed that "Alapaha" is a Creek adaptation of the Timucuan word "arapaha" which meant "bear lodge." A Timucua town named Arapaha apparently gave its name to the river it was located on.
Speakers of one or another of the Muscogean languages, which do not have the sound "r", may have changed the pronunciation of the name from "Arapaha" to "Alapaha."
