The Maya civilization does not have a single "real name," as it encompasses various city-states and cultures that thrived in Mesoamerica. The term "Maya" is derived from the name of the Yucatán Peninsula's Maya city of Mayapan. The Maya people referred to themselves using various terms based on their specific languages and regions, with "Maya" generally used to describe the diverse groups that share cultural and linguistic traits.
