Bogotá

1. Bogota, Bogotá (the capital city of Colombia)

From an unattested Chibcha word variously described as the name of the surrounding region, the capital of the Muisca Confederation, the original name of the town of Funza, the name of a Muisca cacique or his title.

Various forms have been proposed as the original name, such as Bacatá (possibly a later invention ^[1]); Bocatá, meaning “fields’ end” and the name of a cacique;^[2] Bogote, referring to the Bogotá Savannah and used as a hereditary title;^[3] Muequetá, supposedly from Chibcha muyquy (“field”) + ta (“inside; field”).
