I "asked Jeeves" and got several answers, including golden water, golden river, swift current, stranger, and newcomer. My 4th grader's Ala history book says it comes from the Choctaw word "tali pushi", meaning "pulverized rock." Sounds to me like nobody knows.

More interesting to me is the origin of Sylacauga, from the Creek word "suli kagi" meaning "buzzard's roost." How appropriate!!
