Tegucigalpa

[Jesse Lovegren]

I am citing from Jose Sarmiento's book, Historia de Olancho 1524-1877, where
he quotes the conquistador Cristobal de Pedraza's (1544) report:

"y capturando tres indios y dos indias les preguntaron por nuestros
naguatatos, que quiere decir intérpretes, qué tierra era aquella,
respondieron que *Tegiusgualpa*, que quiere decir in su lengua: casa donde
se fundó el oro"
