Tegucigalpa

[Michael McCafferty]

Listerotzitzin,

These are all interesting theories about the etymology of Tegucigalpa, 
most of which, except the one offered by Gordon, are found on the 
whirled wide web. Unfortunately, we may be dealing here with an 
unanalyzable place name, like so many American Indian place names that 
exist in the U.S. Unfortunately, historical European scribes and time 
have often twisted native names beyond recognition. In the case of 
Tegucigalpa, what is probably needed is some digging into the 
historical records for alternative spellings and, per chance to dream, 
an explanation of the term.
