Yallahs
Jamaica · Saint ThomasJM
City in Surrey, Jamaica
Yallahs is a town on the southeastern coast of Jamaica in the parish of St Thomas, home to 10,274 residents. The city, which was documented as “Yealoth” in a 1662 census, may have derived its name from Captain Yallahs, a privateer from 1671, or vice versa. Another theory suggests that the name Yallahs could have originated from the Spanish word ‘yalos’, meaning ‘frost’, as the high white cliffs in the area might give the impression of frost.
