Meaning & History
Possibly means "he throws jade down" in Nahuatl, from chālchiuhtli "precious green or blue stone" and tepehua "to scatter or throw something onto the ground". Alternatively, it could mean "owner of jade mountains", with the second element deriving from tepetl "hill, mountain" and the possessive suffix -hua.
