Meaning & History

Derived from Guanche *ta-ahghər-ahəgh(i), meaning "she who sustains the firmament". This is the name of the mother goddess in Guanche mythology. After the conquest of the Canary Islands and their subsequent Christianization, Chaxiraxi became identified with the Virgin of Candelaria, an alleged appearance of the Virgin Mary on the island of Tenerife.
