ArchivesRe: Meaning and origin of the Name Yaretzi
in reply to a message by Yaretzi
I checked Yaretzi a while ago for my own database and didn't find a good source that confirms the meaning of "you are beloved" (or any other meaning). Unfortunately it does not mean much to find info like that in many places all over the Internet because there is so much copying going on.
Regarding Nahuatl I found this however:

See the posting and the answer at the end of this article about Nahuatl: That language has no "r" sound, so a name like Yaretzi as Nahuatl does not fly.
That let me personally doubt "you are beloved" as well.

I sorta knew it wasn't nahuatl since my vague basic knowledge didn't seem to feel to me that it would be a nahuatl sounding name. I did check sites from Mexico with Aztec centric themes/topics and the name does not appear there. Thanks for the post and confirming that.
Checking Facebook, there a good number of ladies named "Yaretzi". So I am not alone. ;)

It’s Aztec (nahuatl) for “Love of my Life”
Love = tlazotlalitztli
blood= Etztli
Tla-etztli/ (spanishized as yaretzi)= literally translates to “Amor de mi sangre” love of my blood.
Literally translates doesn’t make much sense but the context and significance of blood in Nahuatl/indigenous culture is seen as an offering and connection to tonantzin our mother earth. Blood is the essence of life.
So amor de mi sangre can be interpreted better in English as “Love of my life”
