Hi
I know chicle is grown in south and central america, so I was curious if the
name of the peruvian city of Chiclayos was related to chicle - specifically,
if the town was named after people who harvest chicle which used to be used
ion chewing gum if I am not mistaken.

I got part of an answer on google:

Chicle is native to Northern Central America and Southern Mexico. The name
appears to be either Náhatl or Mayan in origin.

Chiclayo is not in a gum producing area.

I certainly don't speak "native fluent" Spanish, but that could be
translated as "chicle farmers" or "the chicle people".
