Cuitlahuac, of Aztec origin, is a unique and historical male given name. It translates to "one who has made it rain," which reflects the power and influence attributed to those bearing this name in ancient Mesoamerican cultures. In Aztec mythology, Cihuacoatl, also known as Cuitlahuac, was a goddess of fertility and childbirth. The use of this name is deeply rooted in Mexican history and culture, with notable figures like Cuitláhuac Moctezuma II, who briefly ruled the Aztecs after the death of his nephew Montezuma II. Today, Cuitlahuac remains a distinctive choice for parents seeking a meaningful and culturally significant name for their child.
The name Cuitlahuac has had a steady but low level of popularity over the years, with peaks in 1992 and 2003, and no births recorded between these periods until another peak in 1994.
