Re: meaning of Ximanez
in reply to a message by trogdor
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.
