Xochitl

Xochitl is a girl's baby name of Nahuatl (Aztec) origin, meaning 'flower,' one of the most beautiful and culturally resonant names in the Mesoamerican naming tradition.

Pronounced roughly "SO-cheel," it appears in Aztec mythology as the name of the goddess of flowers, beauty, and music. In Mexico, it remains a popular and deeply cherished name. In the U.S., it is gaining visibility as Latino cultural pride grows — and as Xochitl Gálvez, a prominent Mexican politician, brought it to wider international attention. A name with ancient roots and growing modern momentum.
