Nicarao, or Macuilmiquiztli (Nahuatl Makwilmikistli: macuil "five", miquiztli "death") was the name of the ruler of the Nicarao, a Nahua group that inhabited western Nicaragua and northwestern Costa Rica.[1][2][3] Based on research done by historians in 2002, it was discovered that his real name was Macuilmiquiztli, meaning "Five Deaths" in the Nahuatl language.[4][5][6][7] Macuilmiquiztli governed the Nicarao from his capital Quauhcapolca, in what is today the department of Rivas in southwestern Nicaragua.[8]
