Jiménez (surname)
Jiménez is a patronymic surname of Iberian origin, first appearing in the Basque lands. Jiménez is a patronymic construction from the modern-styled given name ''Jimeno'', plus the Spanish suffix ''-ez'', representing 'son of' Jimeno. The root appears to stem from Basque ''semen'' ('son'), attested in Aquitanian inscriptions as ''Sembeconnis'' and like forms. The patronymic appears in the 10th century Latin Códice de Roda genealogies as ''Scemenonis''. Variants of the surname include Jimenes, Ximénez/Ximenes, Giménez/Gimenes, Chiménez, Chimenes, Seménez, Semenes, Ximenis or Eiximenis in Catalonia, in Sicilian Scimemi or Scimeni and the Neapolitan Chimenz or Chimenez.

Francisco Ximénez De Tejada
Francisco Ximénez de Tejada y Eslava ( Aragonese: ''Francisco Ximénes de Texada i Eslava''; 13 October 1703, Funes, Kingdom of Navarre − 9 November 1775, Naples) was a Spanish knight who served as the 69th Prince and Grand Master of the Order of Malta from 1773 to 1775. During his reign the Order became unpopular mainly due to bankruptcy brought by the lavish lifestyle of his predecessor Manuel Pinto da Fonseca. His reign was marked by the unsuccessful Rising of the Priests. During the reign of Ximénez, a warehouse was added to the Salina Right Redoubt in Salina Bay, and the redoubt became known as Ximenes Redoubt due to the large escutcheon with the Grand Master's coat of arms above the doorway. Death Ximénez died of a pulmonary infection on 9 November 1775 while he was in Naples. Unlike most other Grand Masters of the Order of Malta he had not set aside any money for his funeral.

Francisco Ximénez
Francísco Ximénez (November 28, 1666 – c. 1729) was a Dominican priest who is known for his conservation of an indigenous Maya narrative known today as the ''Popol Vuh''. John Woodruff has noted that there remains very few biographical data about Ximénez. Aside from the year of his birth, baptismal records do not agree on the actual date of his birth, and the year of his death is less certain, either in late 1729 or early 1730. He enrolled in a seminary in Spain and arrived in the New World in 1688, where he completed his novitiate. Father Ximénez's sacerdotal service began in 1691 in San Juan Sacatepéquez and San Pedro de las Huertas in present-day Guatemala where he learned Kaqchikel, a Mayan language. In December 1693, Ximénez began serving as the ''Doctrinero'' of San Pedro de las Huertas. He continued in this office for at least ten years during which time he was transferred to Santo Tomás Chichicastenango (also known as Chuilá) between 1701–1703. He ...
