Garza, also calledMeakán, is an extinctComecrudan language ofTexas andMexico. It is known from two tribal names and twenty-one words recorded from the chief of the Garza byJean-Louis Berlandier in 1828 (Berlandier et al. 1828–1829, 1850: 143–144). At that time, the Garza all spokeSpanish and were acculturated. The Garza may have been the same as theAtanguaypacam tribe (of theComecrudo) recorded in 1748. The Garza were calledMeacknan orMiákan by the neighboringCotoname (Gatschet 1886: 54) while they called the CotonameYué.Garza is Spanish for "heron."
