Belize does not mean "Wallace"............
WTF? There is no proof for that....
It does mean "Muddy Water" in Maya-Mopan (Be'lix).....
It is only referring to the Belize River which gets muddy in the rainy season. It is the longest river with hundreds of contributaries and creeks, making smaller rivers in central Belize muddy.
Most other rivers, lagoons and oceans are clear and a few are turquoise-to-blue (Blue Creek, Chetumal Bay, the "small" and "Great" Blue Hole)
