The name of the Creek town of Cubihatcha may have been incorrectly recorded by white people. The last element is likely to be -hatchi, not -hatcha; compare other Upper Creek town names, such as Alkehatchi, Coosahatchi, Saugahatchi and Talasihatchi. This element may be simply a Word for "place" or "settlement".

The cubi- element is perhaps intended for cvmpe-meaning sweet, so cvmpehatchi would be "sweet place"; the first part of Coosahatchi may be cvse- (pumpkin), so cvsehatchi = pumpkin place. Alkehasi may be intended for akhvsehatchi = pond place.
