Meaning of name Wyola (Billings, Hardin: towns, lodge, interstate)

[konsha5x]

Does anyone know where Wyola got it"s name? Is it a crow indian name? From the railroad?

[HiLine]

It's Crow. I believe it means "Mighty Few". I'll ask a Crow friend of mine from Lodge Grass next time I see him.

Personally, I think it means "What the heck you doing out here in the middle of no where".

Thank you. I was given the name Wyola 55 years ago and have been searching for 10 years on the meaning. Your the first person to give me a reply. I was in Wyola 2 years ago, but no one really knew where the name came from. Thanks again, hope to hear from you soon

This is what I was talking about on the other thread. From the Wyoming state line to Billings there are several towns. Only a couple still have residents.

State line:
Aberdeen
Wyola
Spear
Lodge Grass
Benteen
Garryowen
Crow Agency
Dunmore
Hardin
Toluca
Indian Arrow
Billings.

Those are just the towns along the interstate or the old road that parralell the interstate.
