"Buffalo" meaning in English

See Buffalo in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Audio: En-uk-Buffalo.ogg [UK]
Etymology: Probably from buffalo (Bison bison), since both cities are in regions that had wild herds at the time the names originated. Buffalo, New York was named after the Buffalo River, which an alternative etymology says is from French beau fleuve (“beautiful river”), but the more likely explanation is that it was named for the animal. Etymology templates: {{m|en|buffalo}} buffalo, {{taxfmt|Bison bison|species}} Bison bison, {{der|en|fr|beau fleuve|t=beautiful river}} French beau fleuve (“beautiful river”) Head templates: {{en-proper noun}} Buffalo
