Meaning & History

Meaning uncertain; the name was often written with the flag glyph panitl, but this was almost certainly a phonetic representation of the name, and unrelated to its etymology. This was the Nahuatl name of Diego de Alvarado Huanitzin, an Aztec tlatoani (ruler) who became the first governor of Tenochtitlan under colonial Spanish rule.
