Lima, Peru, derived its name from the Spanish word "Lima," which was a corruption of the indigenous name "Rímac," meaning "the speaker" in the Quechua language. The name referred to the nearby Rímac River. When Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro founded the city in 1535, he named it "Ciudad de los Reyes" (City of Kings), but it eventually became known as Lima. Over time, the name Lima became more widely used, overshadowing the original name.
