Meaning and history
Xóchilt is a Spanish-influenced spelling related to the Nahuatl feminine name Xōchitl, meaning “flower.” The classical Nahuatl spelling includes a long vowel mark, while modern spellings vary across Mexico and Central America. Flowers held major ritual, poetic, and artistic importance in Nahua culture. The accent in Xóchilt reflects Spanish orthographic adaptation rather than the classical form. Mexican politician Xóchitl Gálvez is a notable bearer of the closely related standard modern spelling.
