Alabama (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.wcc.at/geschichte/etymologie_suedstaaten.php
Der Name des US-Staates "Alabama" geht zurück auf einen Städtenamen der Choctaw-Indianer "Alibamo" = "hier ruhen wir". Mit diesem Ruf soll der Gründer den Ort der Stadt ausgewählt haben.
Allerdings gibt es auch eine andere Variante, die besagt, dass "Alabama" von dem Chactaw-Satz "alba-aya-mule" = "Ich schlage mich durch den Urwald" abgeleitet wurde, um das "Rodungsland"zu bezeichnen.

Hollywood (town) Jackson County (W3)
Die Namensgebung für Hollywood-Orte kann im Einzelfall unterschiedliche Beweggründe haben, wie etwa die Benennung nach der Herkunft des Gründers. Grundsätzlich geht der Ortsname aber auf Umwegen zurück auf engl. "holy" = "heilig".
Vor allem in Großbritannien und in den USA dienten die Stechpalmen zur weihnachtlichen Schmückerei. Die Stechpalmen hatten ursprünglich mystische Bedeutung. Aus den immergrünen Palmenzweigen wurden Stechpalmenzweige, die in das christliche Brauchtum übernommen wurden (vgl. "Palmsonntag"). Jedenfalls entstanden in den USA auch große Pflanzungen mit Stechpalmen, sogenannte "Holly-Farmen". Und so sind die originären Orte namens "Hollywood" auch auf entsprechende "Ilexwälder" zurückzuführen (Stechpalme, bot. "Ilex aquifolium").

voanews - Speaking of Alabama - Part 1, Part 2
(E?)(L?) http://voanews.com/specialenglish/Wordmaster/Archive/a-2005-06-28-1-1.cfm
Donna Akins is an observer of language, though just for her own interest. She is proud of her Southern linguistic roots, and she worries that the local dialect is dying.
(E?)(L?) http://voanews.com/specialenglish/Wordmaster/Archive/a-2005-07-05-1-1.cfm
"I think that a lot of the losing of the language is out of embarrassment, the fear of feeling like or sounding like you're less intelligent," Donna Akins says.
