The name Yucatán most likely originated from a misunderstanding between the first Spanish explorers and the local Maya people in 1517. The Maya responded to the Spanish question "What is the name of this land?" with a phrase that sounded like "Yucatán," leading to the name's adoption. There are several proposed Maya phrases that could have been misunderstood, including "Ma'anaatik ka t'ann" ("I do not understand your language") or "uh yu ka t'ann" ("hear how they speak").

I don't know where this guy got that information, but it doesn't make any sense, or he made it up.
There are two theories about the name Yucatán:
1- It is believed that the Spaniards asked the name of the land and the Mayans replied “uh yu ka t'ann,” which in Mayan means “listen to how they speak.” The Spaniards understood “Yucatán,” and that is how the peninsula got its name.
2- Some researchers have suggested the possibility that the name Yucatán is not Mayan but Nahuatl. David Bolles (2001) points out that the “tan” in Yucatán could be the Nahuatl suffix “tla-tlan,” which is a locative, meaning something like “the place of.” This author shows that, in Rémi Simeon's Dictionary of the Nahuatl Language, YUHCATLA means ‘deserted place, solitude’ and also points out that, in Molina's dictionary, the root YUCA has the meaning of ‘belonging to another’. This makes a lot of sense if, on the one hand, we observe that the toponymy of Mexico is mostly in Nahuatl.
