Many historians believe that the word "Gullah" comes from Angola, a West African country from which many of the slaves came. Another idea is that "Gullah" is from the Gola, a tribe found near the border of Liberia and Sierra Leone, West Africa.

The Gullah were/are descendants of West African slaves, mostly from the Angola region. Following the abolishment of slavery, Gullah communities were established in the islands and coastal lowlands of South Carolina, Georgia, and North-Eastern Florida.
