Added Analysis: 

This collection contains another similar glyph for the name Tlacaneneltzin (see below). That one and this one may both be men who carry a famous name, a Tlacaneneltzin associated with a place called Tlatocan and shown in a pictorial manuscript from Calpan [see the upper right corner of the first image on this page: https://tlachia.iib.unam.mx/calpan/073_01 -- this is part of a manuscript called "Confirmación de Elecciones en Calpan (BNF_073)," published by TLACHIA].
