Etymology question.....

[Yakima Belle]

Tlahowya!

There is a small, remote town in Nevada named "Jarbidge", which locals tell me comes from a local tribal word for devil or perhaps demon. Does anyone know if this is possibly related to - either as the source of, or derivation from - the Chinook term "Djuab?"
