The Tickfaw River /ˈtɪkfɔː/ runs 113 miles (182 km)[1] from Amite County in southwest Mississippi to Livingston Parish in southeast Louisiana.

[2] The name Tickfaw (Tiak foha) is thought to be derived from the Choctaw phrase meaning "pine rest" or "Rest Among the Pines".

[3][4] More recent analysis however has determined the name to be derived from shortening and alteration of Pawticfaw meaning "place where wild animals have shed their hair".
