| Etymology | Named after “xaxi”, a toponym of the first indigenous settlers of the area (the Chamas tribes) and that, with the arrival of the Spanish people, was transformed morphologically to be known today as “Jají” (Gordones-Rojas & Meneses-Pacheco, 2004). The town is one of the oldest in Mérida state, Venezuela, founded in 1580. |
