Archivesmeaning of Ximanez
I was (dont laugh) watching a monty python's flying circus movie and I saw the name Ximanez and they pronounced it as he-may-neth. Any info on this one??? Im not sure on the spelling it might be Xemanez or the like. Anyways this was supposedly the name of a Spanish Cardinal.

What you are looking for is Ximenez prn hee-meh-nez. It is a patronymic, Spanish surname that means Hijo de Ximun or Ximena. In English: Son of Simon.
You are right, Fray Francisco Ximenez was a Spanish Cardinal who translated "The Popol Vuh" (Mayan culture's sacred book) into Spanish.
