Xochitl
Xóchitl (Mexican Spanish pronunciation: [ˈʃotʃitɬ]) is the Westernised version of "xōchitl", the Nahuatl word for flower (Nahuatl pronunciation: [ˈʃoːtʃitɬ]). It is a given name that is somewhat common in Mexico and among Chicanos. The name has been a common Nahuatl name among Nahuas for hundreds of years. It was recorded on an early-16th century census of the Aztec people in the villages of Huitzillan and Quauchichinollan, where it was found to be the tenth most common name among boys. In a 1590 census, the boys name Xōchipepe (flower gatherer) was recorded, as well as the girls' names of Ēlōxōchitl (magnolia), Miyāoaxōchitl (maize tassel flower), and Xīlōxōch (calliandra), which all draw from Xochitl.
