Volcanic activity started again on August 19, 1999, and has been going on since then. There have been several major eruptions since then, the last of which started on February 1, 2014. According to one theory, the name Tungurahua comes from the Quichua words for "throat" and "fire." This means "Throat of Fire." Based on this other theory, the word "crater" in the Quichua language is "uraua," which means "hole." Also known as "The Black Giant," Tungurahua is said to be called Mama Tungurahua by local indigenous people ("Mother Tungurahua").
