Huitzilihuitl (Azca16)
This compound glyph for the personal name Huitzilihuitl (glossed here in the reverential, Huitzilihuitzin), is attested here as a man’s name. The glyph includes the head of a hummingbird (huitzilin) and, around the head, feathers (ihuitl)) in the form of three white down balls. The hummingbird’s head is shown in profile, looking to the viewer's right. Its head is tan and its beak, which is tilted upward somewhat, is a yellow-gold.

Huitzilihuitl was apparently the second ruler of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, spanning the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. This glyph for the famous Huitzilihuitl–here credited with the founding of Chapoltepec–is considerably like some of the other examples in this digital collection (see below), with a hummingbird head surrounded by round white feathers.
