[edit] Etymology

Origin unclear; one theory is that it was coined by Spanish colonists based upon the name of the local chief at that time, w:Nicarao; another is that it may have meant ‘surrounded by water’ in an indigenous language (this could either be a reference to its two large freshwater lakes, Lake Nicaragua and Lake Managua, or to the fact that it bounded on the east and the west by oceans)
