Ocala

Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names | 2005 | | Â© Concise Dictionary of World Place-Names 2005, originally published by Oxford University Press 2005. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Ocala, Florida/USA Developed from Fort King in 1827, the meaning is disputed. It may come from a Timucuan word for ‘green (land)’, thus ‘fertile (land)’; or the word may signify this part of Florida.
