Mapuche indians didn't know the tiger as we do today, because tiger is an asiatic animal.
When mapuche say "tiger", they are meaning "puma", which is american (and when I say "american" I don't mean "born in the USA").
Acquarella is right:During spanish middle age, because of a religious matter, babies couldn't be called neither MARY nor JESUS, that's the reason of names known as "Marys's advocation":PILAR, ASUNCIÓN, SOCORRO (for girls), and SALVADOR, NAZARENO (for boys).
