Xitlali

Xitlali is a name of Nahuatl origin, the language spoken by the Aztecs in ancient Mexico. It means 'star' in Nahuatl.

The name is derived from the Nahuatl words 'xītl' meaning 'navel' or 'belly button' and 'ālli' meaning 'water'. Together, they form the word 'xītlālli', which refers to the stars reflected in water.

In Aztec culture, stars held great significance and were closely linked to various deities and celestial events. The name Xitlali reflects the importance of stars in their cosmology and mythology.

Today, the name is popular among families of Mexican heritage who wish to honor their cultural roots and celebrate the beauty of the night sky.
