Why the name Mapachi?
You may wonder, why the name Mapachi? Besides the fact that the name sounds real cool, it does have some meaning behind it. It is the Spanish name for a raccoon. Pronouced: Mah pah'ch ee with the accent on the Pah sounding louder than the other syllables. I was called Mapachi by my latino friends after playing a hard game of basketball. When i get really hot and sweaty, around my eyes, my skin begins to blushes and turn a pinkish red. I guess to my latino friends my eyes appeared to have the likeness of the black striped mask of the raccoon.
