You know, I think this may be a case of looking too hard. The same thing happened with Zedong and the 'purple mushroom' meaning. We looked super hard to find the root source of the word and the meaning, but couldn't. Then one day I happened to google "names meaning colour', and the very first result was 20000names.com, which listed Zedong as meaning 'purple mushroom', exactly as Miles and Kerry said.

One of the places we have as a reference is 20000names.com. On thefourth page of the colour names list on said website, down the bottom in the Misc section under Male, is Amitola, meaning rainbow in Sioux.

Is it actually correct? Probably not. Is it where Miles and Kerry got the name from? Given their track record with other names that we had the same problem with (Zedong being the major one), most likely.
