Meaning & History

Derived from the western Muskogean elements tashka meaning "warrior" and losa meaning "black". This was the name of a 16th-century Mississippian chief who in 1540 led the Battle of Mabila against Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto. The city of Tuscaloosa in the U.S. state of Alabama is named for him.
