Meaning & origin

Xitlally is a modern spelling variant of the Nahuatl name Xitlali, meaning 'star.' First recorded in the United States in 1999, the name experienced a modest peak in 2001 and has been on a rising trajectory since 2022. Although it has not ranked in the top 1000, its steady increase suggests growing interest, particularly among families honoring Mexican heritage. The name remains rare, with no top states yet recorded.

Xitlally is a modified spelling of Xitlali, which derives from Nahuatl 'citlālin' (star). The name is common in Mexican families and has seen limited use in the United States since the late 1990s, with a peak in 2001.
