Tepeu

Tepeu

Tepeu is a K'iche'-Maya word meaning "sovereign" (also "one who conquers" or "one who is victorious"). The word originated from the Nahuatl Tepeuh [ [http://www.sacred-texts.com/nam/maya/pvgm/pv08.htm Popol Vuh: The Book of the People: Popol Vuh: Preamble ] ] . The title is associated with the K'iche'-Maya god Gukumatz, his whole name translating as "Sovereign Plumed Serpent". The title has also been used by numerous K'iche' rulers such as Tepepul.
