Meaning & Origin
Xitlali is a girl's baby name of Native American origin (Nahuatl), meaning 'star' from the Nahuatl xitlalin. It is the Nahuatl variant of Citlali/Citlaly, a name deeply rooted in Aztec culture and widely used in Mexican communities today.
Xitlali carries the indigenous Mexican heritage of the Aztec language and cosmology, where stars played a central role in religious and agricultural life. It's a name that honors pre-Columbian roots and sounds beautiful in both Spanish and English contexts — part of a growing movement to preserve indigenous naming traditions.
