Xocoyol (Mdz2r)

It is not clear whether this person's name really had to do with a bell (coyolli) that was tied on the foot (xo-, possibly for the purpose of dancing), or whether these are just phonetic indicators for the plant, the xocoyolli, that was and still is a part of the Nahua diet (see below, right). Still, it seems more likely that a personal name would have to do with jingle bells for dancing than for edible greens. If it were a place name, then xocoyolli, the food, might be more likely.
