ArchivesRe: Meaning and origin of the Name Yaretzi
in reply to a message by Yaretzi
Ooh, apparently it's a variation of Yaretza, described as an invented name. There appears to have been a "limited run" Mexican tv series in 1971 which introduced it, after which it appeared among new names, and the variant Yaretzi appeared in the charts in 2006. The Nahuatl appears to be a folk etymology created retrospectively.
"Invented" may be inaccurate however as Yaritza is the probable original which is a simple diminutive of Yara, as Maritza is of Maria.
