Meaning & History

Means "turquoise lord" or "lord of fire", from Nahuatl xihuitl, which can mean "turquoise, grass, green/blue thing" or "year, comet" or "flame, fire", and tecuhtli "lord". This was the name of the Aztec god of fire, daytime, and heat, one of the oldest known Mesoamerican deities.
