The word Hurricane comes from 'Hurican', the Carib god of evil which has its roots in a name from Mayan folklore, Hurakan.
Hurakan was the ancient Mayan god of wind and storm. He was a creator god who breathed on the water as wind to dry it out and form the land.
When the gods became angry with the first human beings, Hurukan unleashed the deluge which destroyed them in a Flood.
Hurakan means "one-legged".
