    Agüeybaná (died 1510) was the principal and most powerful cacique [a] ( chief) of the Taíno people in "Borikén" ( Puerto Rico) when the Spanish first arrived on the island on November 19, 1493.
    The name Agüeybaná means "The Great Sun", and he is often appended the "II" to differentiate him from his brother Agüeybaná, the other great cacique in Puerto Rico at the time of the arrival of the Spanish. All the other Caciques (Indian military chiefs) were subject to and had to obey Agüeybaná, even though they governed their own tribes.
    Güeybaná, better known as Agüeybaná II, was the brother [a] of the great cacique Agüeybaná and lived with his tribe in Guaynia ( Guayanilla ), located near a river of the same name on the southern part of the island.
    After the death of Agüeybaná I, the Taíno high chief who struck the initial peace agreement with Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in 1508, Agüeybaná II rose to power.
