Maracaibo, Venezuela : ウィキペディア英語版
Maracaibo

Maracaibo ((:maɾaˈkai̯βo)) is a city and municipality in northwestern Venezuela, on the western shore of the strait that connects Lake Maracaibo to the Gulf of Venezuela. It is the second-largest city in the country (after the national capital Caracas) and is the capital of the state of Zulia. The population of the city is approximately 1,495,200〔()〕 with the metropolitan area estimated at 2,108,404 as of 2010.〔()〕
Maracaibo is nicknamed ''La Tierra del Sol Amada'' ("The Beloved Land of the Sun").
== Etymology ==

The name Maracaibo is said to come from the brave ''cacique'' (Indian chief) Mara, a young native who valiantly resisted the Spaniards and died fighting them. It is said that when Mara fell, the Indians shouted "''Mara kayo!''" (Mara fell!), thus originating the city name. Other historians say that the first name of this land in the local language was "Maara-iwo" meaning "Place where serpents abound".
