The word hurricanes is derived from the word huracan which began with the Carib Indians of the West Indies. The word huracan represented one or all of three things; a Taino god, a Carib god, and/or a Mayan storm god named Hunranken. Following this, the Spanish colonists then changed the word from huracan to hurricane.
