Do you know a word Managua - not sure if this is the spelling. It came to me whilst I was meditating and there was an image of an Indian Brave speaking the word to me.

Hi,
Managua is the name of the capital city of Nicaragua.
named after Lake Managua, locally Xolatlán, on which it lies. Managua is said to come from the Guaraní ama ‘rain’ and nagua ‘spirit’ or ‘ghost’, a reference to its guardian. However, an alternative suggestion is that it means ‘where there is an extension of water’ in Nahuatl.
