[743] Yucatan seems to have been first named, or its name at least was first recorded, as Yuncatan by Bartholomew Columbus (Bibl. Amer. Vet., p. 471). There are various theories regarding the origin of the name. Cf. Bancroft, Mexico, i. 11, 12; Prescott, Mexico, i. 223. A new Government map of Yucatan was published in 1878 (Magazine of American History, vol. iii. p. 295).
