All modern day Coia's can trace their ancestry to Italy - mainly the region of Molise, in the area of Isernia and Filignano. It is intimated that prior to that - maybe in the 1400's the Coia clan came to Italy from the Iberian peninsula - Spain/Portugal. The name may have changed from Goya to Coya to Coja to Coia.
Pachatuti, son of Inca Viracocha, was the fourth of the Hanan dynasty. His wife's name is given as Mama Anawarkhi or Coya Anahurque. He had two sons: Amaru Yupanqui and Tupac Inca Yupanqui.
