   The name comes from the Carib deity Hurucán (as transliterated by the   
   conquistadores, so the pronunciation may be faulty).

   Oh, the usual stuff:  houses, farm animals, fields, people....   
      
   Seriously, I don't think that information has come down to us.  But I'll   
   be pleased if anyone does post an answer.   
      
   Blessed be,   
   Baird   
   who lives in Florida, and has a closer acquaintance with Hurucán than he   
   really likes....
