Thank you for your help. I have found information about Ixchel already. I am just reluctant to assume that "Itzel" and "Ixchel" are the same name without direct confirmation. As I understand the orthography of Spanish/Mayan writing, these are not representations of the same sounds. "Itzel" would be "eet-sell", which "Ixchel" would be "eesh-chell", with the "ch" the same as the "ch" in English words like "chance". So Itzel and Ixchel could be just as different in Mayan as chin and shin or Chad and Shad are in English.
