Cancún is a city in southeast Mexico on the northeast coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. It is a significant tourist destination in Mexico and the seat of the municipality of Benito Juárez. The city is on the Caribbean Sea and is one of Mexico’s easternmost points.
Cancún is just north of Mexico’s Caribbean coast resort area known as the Riviera Maya.
Cancún is derived from the Mayan name kàan kun, composed of kàan “snake” and the verb kum ~ kun “to swell, overfill”. Two translations have been suggested: the first is “nest of snakes” and the second, less accepted one is “place of the golden snake”.
The shield of the municipality of Benito Juárez, which represents the city of Cancún, was designed by the Mexican-American artist Joe Vera. It is divided into three parts: the color blue symbolizes the Caribbean Sea, the yellow the sand, and the red the sun with its rays.
In older English-language documents, the city’s name is sometimes spelled “Cancoon”, an attempt to convey the sound of the name. Wikipedia
