Tubbalubba Creek

Tubbalubba Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi.[1]

The name "Tubbalubba" is either (sources vary) derived from the Choctaw language meaning "where the beans have been rooted up" or the Chickasaw language meaning "ravine tree, gully tree".[2] Variant names are "Tucceluba Creek" and "Tuckalubba Creek".[1]
