Meaning & origin
Zitlaly is a Nahuatl name meaning 'star', first recorded in the United States in 1993. Its highest popularity occurred in 2004, after which its usage declined steadily. Though it has never ranked in the top 1,000 nationally, the name carries cultural significance for families with Nahuatl heritage, particularly in regions like the Southwest. The name has no recorded top state concentration, reflecting its relatively niche but meaningful use.
Zitlaly is a Nahuatl name derived from 'citlālli' (star). It has been used among Nahuatl-speaking communities in Mexico and among Mexican-American families. The name gained some visibility in the United States starting in the 1990s, particularly in the Southwest.
