Spelling and origination

I guess I have a statement and some questions.

First, where exactly is your family from?

My maiden name is Coyi and I'm from Belize. It is also spelt Coye--but Coyi is the original spelling.

It's a Mayan name that was creolized by the British when they colonized Belize.

Out of curiosity, do you have any relatives in Belize?

I am a Coye and have lots of family in Belize. Most interesting is the year of your post is the year I discovered my family in Belize. The Coye Funeral Parlor/Home is the business my grandfather started. I have visited each year since 2004 (except 2008 when mom was diagnosed with cancer). Please rely.
