Goiania 86th Spacial Birthday .
The most likely origin of the name Goyanna (currently Goiana) is that Goyanna comes from the Tupi-Guarani word "Guyanna", which means "land of many waters". The town's toponym appears for the first time in the catalogs of the Society of Jesus in 1592 under the name of village of "Gueena". The same document, in 1606, records it with the spelling changed to "Goyana" and finally Goiana. Some scholars say that Goiana is the source word for the Tupi language and means: esteemed people. The first suggestion of name came from Leo Lynce, a Goias intellectual from Pires do Rio. For... Read More...
