[Facts] Re: Coya
in reply to a message by Menke
Coyita would mean 'little coya' in Spanish, like Conchita means little conch (shell).
It is possible to find a meaning for 'coya'. On http://buscon.rae.es/diccionario/drae.htm it says: 1. Coya. f. Entre los antiguos incas, mujer del emperador, señora soberana o princesa.
So Coyita means 'Little Exalted Inca-Lady' or 'Little Inca Princess' in Spanish.

Ditto. Coya means "Empress" in Inca. The coya was the wife and the eldest sister (!) of the Empreror.
