What does Atahualpa mean?
 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atahualpa ?

Quote:

Atahualpa, Atahuallpa, Atabalipa, or Atawallpa (March 20, 1497 Quito – Cajamarca, August 29, 1533), was the last Sapa Inca or sovereign emperor of the Tahuantinsuyu, or the Inca Empire. He became emperor upon defeating his older half-brother Huáscar in a civil war sparked by the death of their father, Inca Huayna Capac, from an infectious disease thought[who?] to be smallpox.

During the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, the Spaniard Francisco Pizarro crossed his path, captured Atahualpa, and used him to control the Inca empire. Eventually, the Spanish executed Atahualpa by garrote, ending the Inca Empire (although several successors claimed the title of Sapa Inca ("unique Inca") and led a resistance against the invading Spaniards).

Is this the correct explenation?

That's what I've assumed.

I was wondering because of the nice name, so I looked it up :)

Is there some history about Ata on this forum?
