I believe those are Nahuatl names. (Native Americans that inhabited North of Guatemala and The Caribbean side of Mexico. Better known as the Maya Culture)Ixchel -eex-SHEL(Moon Goddess, Fertility goddess)LAKSHMI -This does not sound Nahuatl to me but I could be wrong. Don't know what it means and my guess, it is prn lahk-SHMEE.XOCHIQUETZAL -Shoh-sheeh-kets-ahl. I ma not sure about the meaning of XOCHI but I think it means "flower".
QUETZAL is a bird that represents freedom in the Nahuatl culture
