How do you say Daykeeper in Spanish

Translating a bio for Mayan Daykeeper Hunbatz Men. Best translation so far is "contador de los dias" buy I wonder if anyone out there has a better translation.

I think the use of 'contador' would hint at accountant or bookkeeper of days. I'm not sure in what context 'daykeeper', but, if I think in terms of guarding days or protecting them in some way, then I would think in Spanish that:
"Tenedor de los días" might work, but I like "El guardián de los días" better.

Muchos saludos/Best regards,

Great insight.Thanks! We are talking about the Mayan Calendar Daykeeper, so contador might be right. I llike "El guardian de los dias" but then that implies he is guarding time. - creativemind2012, Dec 6, 2011
