El Quetzal (which is also their currency name).. Some cool facts about Guatemala:

The name Guatemala was derived from Quauhtemallan, meaning the land of many trees, the name that the Nahuatl-speaking soldiers from Tlaxcalla who came with the Spanish gave to Iximché, the capital of the Cakchiquel tribe, and generalized to name the country, by the Spanish.

According to the CIA World Fact Book, Mestizos, known as Ladinos in Central America, (mixed Amerindian-Spanish, or pure Amerindian but Spanish-speaking) and people of European descent (primarily of Spanish, but also those of German, English, Italian, and Scandinavian descent) comprise 60% of the population while Amerindians comprise approximately 40% (K'iche 9.1%, Kaqchikel 8.4%, Mam 7.9%, Q'eqchi 6.3%, other Mayan 8.6%) of the population [7]. There is also a growing Korean community in Guatemala City and in nearby Mixco, currently numbering about 50,000.

Although Spanish is the official language, it is not universally spoken among the indigenous population, nor is it often spoken as a second language. Twenty-one distinct Mayan languages are spoken, especially in rural areas, as well as several non-Mayan Amerindian languages, such as the indigenous Xinca, and Garifuna, an Arawakan language spoken on the Caribbean coast.
