FAQs

Aztec names primarily come from Nahuatl the language spoken by the Aztecs and is still spoken by the Nahua people in Central Mexico today. Nahuatl is a beautiful and complex language with names that often translate to deep connections with nature the calendar system and Aztec mythology.

Historically Aztec children received two main names one a calendar name based on the day they were born and the second a personal name often followed by a dedication name which was not a surname but a name showing dedication to a deity or concept. The calendar name linked the child to a specific day sign like One Flower or Two Rabbit.

Nahuatl pronunciation can look challenging at first but it is largely a phonetic language meaning words are pronounced as they are spelled. Key sounds to remember include the ‘tl’ sound at the end of a word which is often pronounced as a single sound like ‘t’ or slightly guttural ‘tl’ and ‘x’ which is pronounced like ‘sh’ in English. Practicing with online audio resources is helpful to get the sounds right.
