Wari

The name Wari originates from the Quechua language, spoken by the indigenous people of the Andes in South America. In Quechua cosmology, the sun (Inti) was a central deity, representing life, warmth, and power. Names derived from natural elements, especially celestial bodies, were common and held significant cultural and spiritual meaning.

The Wari culture itself was a major pre-Inca civilization that flourished in the central Andes from approximately 600 to 1000 AD. While the name 'Wari' directly refers to the sun in Quechua, it also evokes the historical significance of this powerful ancient civilization, though the name's etymology is distinct from the civilization's name.
