#Chattanooga's name origin remains uncertain but ties to Native #American languages.

Likely derives from #Cherokee (Tsatanugi) or Muskogee/Creek roots, with the first part meaning "rock."

The name translates to "rock rising to a point" or "end of the mountain," referring to #LookoutMountain's prominent feature near the city.

Alternatives include "rock coming to a point," matching the landscape at the #Tennessee River's bend.
