San Andrés Semetabaj
San Andrés Semetabaj ((:san anˈdɾes semeβaˈtax)) is a municipality in the Sololá department of Guatemala. According to Jorge Luis Arriola's ''Geonimias de Guatemala'' (English:''Name origins of geographic locations in Guatemala''), Semetabaj means "stone of glass-like appearance" and originates from the Spanish word "semet", which means : bottle or flask and, by extension, glass, and by the k'akch'iquel "abaj" which means "stone". Originally, it was called San Andrés Limetabaj. There is a Maya archeological site close to the municipal capital, which contains ca. twelve pyramids.
== History ==
The oldest reference of San Andrés Semetabaj after the Spanish conquest of Guatemala is in the Franciscan convent report written by friar Francisco de Zuasa in 1689, who said that San Andrés Semetabaj was a small town under the jurisdiction of the convent in Panajachel, with population 315 (297 natives and 18 criollos).
In his ''Descripción Geográfico-Moral de la Diósesis de Goathemala'' (English:''Moral-geographic description of the Guatemalan diocese''), archbishop Pedro Cortés y Larraz, written in 1770 after his ecclesiastical visit to his new archidiocese, talks about the San Andrés Tzemetabah town, which, with a population of 320 people was an annex to the San Francisco Panajachel parish.
