Afore the arrival oSpaniardstae the Yucatán Peninsulae, the name o this region wisel Mayab.[11]InMayan leid,"ma' ya'ab"is translatit as" a few ". It wis a vera important region for theMayan ceevilization,which reached the peak o its development on this place, where they foondit the ceeties oChichen Itza,Izamal,Motul,Mayapan,Ek' Balaman Ichcaanzihóo (cried T'Hó), now Mérida.[12]

Toponymy

[eedit|eedit soorce]

The name Yucatán, assigned tae thepeninsulaean aw, came frae early splorations o theConquistadorsfrae Europe. There are reliable versions that the name wis result frae confusion atween theMayan inhabitantsan the first Spainyie splorers aroond 1517:

  • Accordin tae ane o them, wis the answer o a Mayan indigenous tae the question o a Spainyie splorer, syne he wantit tae ken the name o the region. The Mayan probably repliedMa'anaatik ka t'annwhich meansMaya leidA dae no unnerstaund your speechorI dae no unnerstaund you.
  • It is said that theSpaniardsgave the name o Yucatán tae the region an aw, acause the Mayan answered their questions wi the phraseuh yu ka t'ann,in Mayan leid meanshear hou they talk.

Probably the first narrator's o "A dae no unnerstaund" version wis the friarToribio de Benavente,in his beukHistoria de los indios de la Nueva España(History o the Indians o New Spain) says:

“ "acause talkin wi those Indians o the coast, whaiver the Spainyie asked the Indians respondit: «Tectetán, Tectetán», which means: «A daena unnerstaund you, A daena unnerstaund you»:...they corruptit the wird, an no unnerstaundin wha the Indians said, they said: «Yucatán is the name o this land»; an the same happened in a place..., a cape, which they criedcape Cotochan aw; an Cotoch in that leid means hoose ".[18] ”

Anither version is fraeBernal Díaz del Castillo.In his beukHistoria verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España(True History o the Conquest o New Spain), he saysYucatámeans "land oyucas",[19]a plant that wis cultivatit bi the Maya an wis an important fuid source for them.[20]
