Re: Xochi
in reply to a message by Genny
Actually Xochi is Nahuatl which is the language of the Aztecs which is distinct from the Mayan culture. The word is shortened down from Xochitl. Xochitl's original meaning was flower and comes from Xochimilco which is the valley of the flowers. That area still exists as a small town that has been absorbed into the city of Mexico City.
