==Etymology== The term "totonac" refers to the people living in Totonacapan. There is no agreement as to the origin of the term. Some authors have translated the term "totonac" as a [[Nahuatl]] word meaning "People of Hot Land". The translation for this word in the Totonac Language, according to sources, is "toto-nacu" meaning "three hearts" signifying their three cities or cultural centers: [[Cempoala]], [[Tajin]] and [[Castillo de Teayo, Veracruz|Teayo]]. Evidence, however, is inconclusive.<ref>Sandstrom, Alan R., and E. Hugo García Valencia (Eds.). ''Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico.''
