[edit] Literal meaning?

What does "Quintana Roo" mean in Spanish? "Quintana" sounds like "the fifth" or something like that, but "Roo" doesn't even sound Spanish. Is it an indigenous Mexican word? Badagnani 04:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Looks like his father's surname was Quintana and "roo" is a form of the verb "to gnaw." Am I on the right track? Badagnani 04:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
