Cuixtli (MH515v)

Our Online Nahuatl Dictionary attests to this being a man's name, and it is found to be still in use late into the seventeenth century). But is is also attested elsewhere to have been held by a woman in 1595. (See a list of Mexican baptisms in MyHeritage.) Also, in a linguistics blog post, David Wright quotes Seler: "Cuitli is undoubtedly a dialect expression for cuixtli (cuixin, cuiztli), the name of a smaller bird of prey (cuixin, 'milano'). I find cuixtli as a proper name, for instance, in the list of names of Almoyauacan in the Manuscit Mexicain number 3, Bibliotheque Nationale (see a, figure 41)."
