Belize's origin is unclear. Some believe that it may be a Spanish transcription of the buccaneer Peter Wallace's name that had been applied to his settlements in the area; an Old French name Wallace means "foreign". It more likely may come from a translation of the Mayan word belix meaning "muddy water".
