<P>There are several theories about the origin of the name "Panama". Some
believe that the country was named after a commonly found species of
trees. Others believe that the first settlers arrived in Panama in August,
when butterflies abound, and that the name means "many butterflies" in an
indigenous language.</P>
<P>The best-known version is that a fishing village and its nearby beach
bore the name "Panamá", which meant "an abundance of fish". Captain
Antonio Tello de Guzmán, while exploring the Pacific side in 1515, stopped
in the small indigenous fishing town. This was communicated to the Crown
and in 1517 Don Gaspar De Espinosa, a Spanish lieutenant, decided to
settle a post there. In 1519, Pedrarias Dávila decided to establish the
Empire's Pacific city in this site. The new settlement replaced Santa
María La Antigua del Darién, which had lost its function within the
Crown's global plan after the beginning of the Spanish exploitation of the
riches in the Pacific.</P>
<P>Blending all of the above together, Panamanians believe in general that
the word Panama means "abundance of fish, trees and butterflies". This is
the official definition given in social studies textbooks approved by the
Ministry of Education in Panama. However, others believe the word Panama
comes from the Kuna word "bannaba" which means "distant" or "far
away".<BR><A style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153); TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
