84 Nahuatl Baby Names With Meanings

如果你正在寻找一个完全不同的inspiration for a baby name, look no further than Nahuatl baby names. Obtained from the antiquity, these names are original, unique and will ensure that your child stands out from the crowd. Nahuatl is the Uto-Aztecan language spoken by 1.5 million people living in central Mexico, especially in Veracruz, Puebla, San Luis Potosi, Hildago, Oaxaca, El Salvador, and regions across the coastline. There are a few Nahuatl speakers in the rest of Mexico and some parts of the United States as well. But most of the Nahuatl speakers speak Spanish, with the exceptions of some elderly. That’s because commoners find hard to decipher the language. The classical Nahuatl was the lingua franca of not just Aztec empire, but most of the Mesoamerica from the 7th century until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. The language was originally written in the pictographic script, which wasn’t exactly a writing system, but served as a mnemonic to remind the readers that they had learned it orally.
