Chichicuepon (MH522V)

It is unclear whether the "chichi" (dog) element in the name is literal or a phonetic indicator for a certain kind of flower. A large percentage of flowers in the Matrícula de Huexotzinco have three predominant petals, like this one. The flowers in the Codex Mendoza are somewhat different, although one type has three petals, too.

There was a poet-lord called Chichicuepon who ruled in Chalco in the fifteenth century. [See: Miguel León-Portilla, Fifteen Poets of the Aztec World, 1992, 249. And, in A Nahuatl-English Dictionary and Concordance to the Cantares Mexicanos (1985, 77), John Bierhorst mentions two men named Chichicuepon. One was the ruler of the Chalcan town of Opochhuacan who died in 1332, and one was a Chalcan noble who died in 1458. Bierhorst cites Chimalpahin.]
