The name Labná is often translated to mean “Old House.”
But I spent some time with a Maya shaman and master teacher, Don Miguel Angel Vergara, who believes this meaning is incomplete. That the indigenous understanding of the word “Labná” actually translates to “Walls of Wisdom of Mother Earth.”
In the original Yucatec Mayan language, the word, “lab” means old. “Na” means both “house/temple” and “mother,” potentially leading to the mistranslation.
