Etymology

Borrowed from Spanish Yucatán. Several etymologies for this name have been proposed:
* Perhaps the most well-known is where it is said to derive from Tabasco Chontal Yokot'an, being either tectetan, meaning “I do not understand you” or uyutan, uyukatan, or yukutan, “listen to them talk!”.
* Bernal Diaz derived the name from the vegetable yuca + tale, a hillock in which the tuber is planted.
