Etymology
The name Copán (Kō-pán) derives from the name of the Copatan Empire, a once prosperous empire that dominated the entirety of what is now the Copán Federation, as well as the Southern portion of Vespera and parts of Northern Aestia. The name Copatan refers to the collective native name for the sky deity (Cupataino), the most important god in the native plethora of gods and goddesses. The Copatan Empire, which according to legend, was founded by a child of Cupataino and a mortal woman, and it was believed that the rulers who came after it were entitled by divine right to rule, with some even claiming to be the reincarnation of Cupataino himself. Linguistic shortcuts gradually shortened the name to be what it is today, with the literal translation being “The Sun People”.
