An uncommon Native American pick — distinctive and rare.
Xitlaly is a girl's baby name of Nahuatl origin, a variant of Xitlali, from the Aztec language meaning 'star' — from the Nahuatl citlalin ('star'), the celestial bodies that guided the Aztec calendar and worldview.
Xitlaly is used in Mexican and Mexican-American communities as a beautiful indigenous name celebrating the stars. The X opening (pronounced like SH or Z in Nahuatl) gives it an immediately striking visual identity alongside its cosmic, luminous meaning.
Xitlaly was #1363 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #3498, but its charm endures.
