Etymology
The name Anratahuaca derives from the Purépecha word Angajtakuaka which means "Land of the Heron" transliterated rather than translated into Nahuatl. The Nahuatl translation Aztacan which has the same meaning has been used during certain periods as interchangeably, but is less common. The territory at the far south of the Oxidentalese continent bore many names, including Tsakapuka meaning the "Land of Stones" and Huitztlan meaning "Southern Land". The region would only take the name Anratahuaca following the rise of the eponymous Anratahuaca state which was sometimes called the Heron Empire as the heron was the symbol for divinity, royalty and by extension the empire. White heron feathers are closely associated with the chief god Curicaweri-Xiuhtecuhtli, resulting in the association of both the feathers and the bird with the temple and the fanatically religious state.
