Chichen-Itza means "At the mouth of the well of the Itza". This roughly describes the location of the city: it is very close to a cenote or water well on the Yucatan peninsula where religious ceremonies took place.

The Itza were the group of Mayan people who built the city, and the rough translation for their noun is "Water Magicians".
