Kan Ekʼ
Kan Ekʼ, or Ajaw Kan Ekʼ, was the name borne by every Itza Maya king at the island capital of Nojpetén in Lake Petén Itzá; in Itza it meant serpent star and joined the royal maternal and paternal lineage names.
The title is attested in Maya inscriptions from the 8th century and was still held by the last independent Itza king, captured when the Spanish took Nojpetén in 1697.
