Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Apalatei, Apalache.
Etymology: In α. forms < Apalatei, a name of the Appalachian mountains (post-classical Latin Apalatei (1591 or earlier); < the name of the Apalache province: see below) + -an suffix, partly after French †Apalates (1658 or earlier; now Apalaches ). In β. forms < Apalache, Apalachia, the name of a former Spanish province in what is now north-western Florida (see note) + -an suffix; compare -ian suffix.The name of the province is first attested in Spanish contexts in the first half of the 16th cent. (as Apalache , Apalachen ), and in English towards the end of the 16th cent. (earliest as Apalachen ; early 17th cent. as Apalache ) and is itself < Spanish Apalahchi , denoting a Muskogean people who lived in the coastal regions of the province at the time (further etymology unknown). Compare English †Apalatti (1655), †Apalachites (1666), †Apalaches (1693; now Apalachee ), all plural, denoting the people.
