GUATEMALA:
The name.
"According to Fuentes y Guzman, derived from 'Coctecmalan'
—that is to say 'Palo de leche,' milk-tree, commonly called
'Yerba mala,' found in the neighborhood of Antigua Guatemala.
… In the Mexican tongue, if we may believe Vasquez, it was
called 'Quauhtimali,' rotten-tree. … Others derive it from
'Uhatezmalha,' signifying 'the hill which discharges water';
and Juarros suggests that it may be from Juitemal, the first
king of Guatemala."
