Jagggy the Jaguar, with three g’s and preferablly always three words (Jagggy the Jaguar), is the initial name of the hero jaguar of MayanToons stories for children. But since there are so many Jaggy the Jaguar characters (with two g’s), we have evolved a new name, Balamchecito “little jaguar tree.” Balam means jaguar; che (usually with an accent, and spelled te in other Mayan languages) means tree. And “cito” is modern Guatemalan Spanish for “small.”
