The Quichuas of Peru must not be confounded with the Quiches of Guatemala.

Quiche is the name of a place, and means "many trees;" the derivation of Quichua is unknown.

Muyscas means "men." This nation also called themselves Chibchas.
[32-1] The significance of Carib is probably warrior.

It may be the same word as Guarani, which also has this meaning.

Tupi or Tupa is the name given the thunder, and can only be understood mythically.
[33-1] The Araucanians probably obtained their name from two Quichua words, _ari auccan_, yes! they fight; an idiom very expressive of their warlike character.
