Those are Mayan words
Why didn't they use a Spanish word when they started that settlement in pre-first century (according to Wikipedia) history?
The same reason half the state names in the US have indigenous origins, I suppose. Guess you'll have to ask the colonizers.
I was asking why the Mayan people didn't choose a Spanish name when they founded Xelha thousands of years ago.
Lol, I guess it was obvious now that you mention it
