Lima's old name was "Ciudad de los Reyes," which translates to "City of Kings." This name was given by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro when he founded the city on January 18, 1535, in honor of the Feast of the Epiphany. Over time, the name "Lima" emerged, derived from the indigenous name "Rímac," referring to the nearby river and the local dialect.
