Xóchitl
Xóchitl is the Westernised version of "xōchitl", the Nahuatl word for flower. 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 was recorded, as well as the girls' names of Ēlōxōchitl, Miyāoaxōchitl, and Xīlōxōch, which all draw from Xochitl.
