Xochitl
[ˈʃoʊ.tʃitɪl]Meaning
means "flower" in Nahuatl
Background Story
Xóchitl is the Westernised form of xōchitl, the Nahuatl word for flower, and is used in Spanish. It has been a common Nahuatl name among Nahuas for hundreds of years, and appears on an early-16th century census of the Aztec people in the villages of Huitzillan and Quauchichinollan, where it was the tenth most common name among boys. A 1590 census records the boys' name Xōchipepe (flower gatherer) and the girls' names Ēlōxōchitl (magnolia), Miyāoaxōchitl (maize tassel flower) and Xīlōxōch (calliandra), all drawn from Xochitl.
