According to the Google machine. Tallahassee means “abandoned town” or “abandoned fields” in the Apalachee tribe’s language.

-———Tallahassee means “abandoned town” or “abandoned fields”—

now there we have it........ fantastic!

I interpret that to mean Talla = abandoned.

In one of my very best favorite books, The Flamingo Feather by Kirk Monroe, The protagonist was named by Tallaloko his adoptive indian family. The French boy Réné de Veaux, was a survivor of the Spanish massacre of the French colony established in 1586. That colony is represented today by fort Caroline National Historical Site Near Jacksonville beach/Mayport. That is easterly across florida from Tallahassee.

So, in 1854, Kirk Munro got it right. Tallaloko is the abandoned one...... abandoned by the French who never came back to fight the Spanish and reestablish the abandoned colony at Ft Caroline.

All this fiction is detailed for real in the book “Three Voyages” by Rene Laudonniere who founded the failed colony. The interesting fact is that the St Augustine hoopla is false....... the French at Ft Caroline were there first.

Sorry for subjecting you to this but it is to me important reelief and answer to the question...... what was the relation between Tallaloko and tallahassee/Talladega? the answer..... “abandoned”

Thanks!
