The term "Inca" does not directly translate to "godlike" in the Inca language, Quechua. Rather, "Inca" originally referred to the ruler or king of the Inca Empire. The Inca people believed their rulers to be descendants of the sun god, Inti, which may have led to the association of Inca rulers with godlike qualities in the eyes of their subjects. However, the word itself does not carry the specific meaning of "godlike" in Quechua.
