== Etymology == [[File:Aerial view of wetlands in Okefenokee.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of wetlands in Okefenokee]] The name Okefenokee is attested with more than a dozen variant spellings of the word in historical literature. Though often translated as "land of trembling earth", the name is likely derived from [[Mikasuki language|Hitchiti]] ''oki fanôːki'' "bubbling water".<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=-RnOijPup3YC&dq=hitchiti+okefenokee&pg=PA191 |title=Handbook of North American Indians: Languages |date=January 1, 1978 |publisher=Government Printing Office |isbn=9780160487743}}</ref>
