Citlali

Citlali is a Nahuatl name from Mexico, meaning 'star'. The Nahuatl language was spoken by the Aztecs and other groups in central Mexico.

In Aztec mythology, Citlalicue was the goddess of the Milky Way. She was depicted as a woman with a skirt covered in stars and a pair of snake heads protruding from her shoulders.

The name Citlali is a beautiful and poetic choice for a baby girl, evoking the imagery of a twinkling star in the night sky.

While not a widely popular name in English-speaking countries, Citlali has been used in Mexico and parts of the United States with significant Hispanic populations.
