Draw names and pick a kind
Press Pick 5 new Aztec names. The Kind menu under the button keeps to day names, women's names or men's names. A day card gives the number and the sign in English and in Nahuatl. A given-name card says which record holds the name and what it means.
How a day name works
The 260-day count pairs a number from 1 to 13 with one of twenty day signs, from Cipactli, Crocodile, to Xochitl, Flower. A person born on the first day would be named One Crocodile, Ce Cipactli. Every day of the count is here as a name.
Questions and answers
What are some Aztec names and their meanings?
Coatl is snake, Tototl bird, Zolin quail and Xochitl flower, all men's names in a census of about 1540. The women's names in that census are mostly about birth order: Teyacapan is first born and Xocoyotl youngest child.
What were Aztec last names?
None are recorded in the sources behind this page. The census of about 1540 and the list of the 1500s give single given names, and a calendar name came from the day a person was born, not from a family.
What do the numbers in an Aztec day name mean?
They count from one to thirteen: ce, ome, eyi, nahui, macuilli, chicuace, chicome, chicueyi, chiucnahui and mahtlactli, then mahtlactli once, omome and omeyi, which are ten plus one, two and three.
Why are most of the cards day names?
Because few given names come with a meaning that two sources agree on: fewer than sixty, from a census of about 1540 and a list written down in the 1500s. The day names, joined from the count's numbers and signs, make up the rest.

How this list was compiled: Two kinds of Aztec name in Classical Nahuatl. The given names are recorded names of the 1500s; the day names are the days of the count, joined by rule from its numbers and signs. Day names: all 260 days of the Aztec 260-day count, built by rule on 2 October 2026 from the twenty day signs and their English names in the table of English Wikipedia's 'Aztec calendar' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar) and the numbers one to thirteen from their Classical Nahuatl entries in English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Classical_Nahuatl_cardinal_numbers); the count pairs each number with each sign once, in the order the article describes. That a person carried the name of the day of birth follows English Wikipedia's 'Tonalli' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonalli): a person born on the first day would be named One Crocodile. Given names: 38 names, 23 men's and 15 women's, each on two of three pages read on 2 October 2026 with the same meaning. The pages are J. F. Schwaller's 'Common Nahuatl Names' (https://web.archive.org/web/20160304003928/http://www2.potsdam.edu/schwaljf/Nahuatl/names.html, the archived page the Wikipedia table cites), which gives the ten commonest men's and women's names of a census of about 1540 and the first ten boys' and girls' names of a list Bernardino de Sahagún wrote down in the 1500s; the table of English Wikipedia's 'Nahuatl name' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahuatl_name); and the word's Classical Nahuatl entry in English Wiktionary. A name on Schwaller's page is spelled as that page spells it, except Cuauhtli, which it writes Quauhtli. A name that stands only in the Wikipedia table is listed where the dictionary has the same word with the same meaning. Left out: Nochehuatl, which both lists gloss as consistent and the dictionary as the rind of a prickly pear; six names of the Wikipedia table that no second page holds (Huitzitl, Ocuil, Tapayaxi, Necuametl, Huitztecol and Olli, which Schwaller's page gives as Ollin, movement). Yaotl is war on both lists and enemy in the dictionary, and its card says so. Tecolotl is printed as owl, the dictionary's word; the table has horned owl. Length marks are printed only where the dictionary's headword carries them; the day cards for ten and for Ocelot follow the dictionary's headwords mahtlāctli and ōcēlōtl. The check asked of this page was run first: fewer than 60 given names have a sourced meaning, so the page is the 260 day names plus those found, and its copy says so. The big line drops the length marks; the card keeps them. All pages were read on 2 October 2026. Licence: English Wikipedia and English Wiktionary, CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/); the census and list names are checked against J. F. Schwaller's 'Common Nahuatl Names'. The day names are built by us from the two lists.
