Tlaloc

Names that connect baby to their heritage are always in style, and the Aztec moniker Tlaloc is a prime example. The name comes from the Nahuatl words tlali and oc, meaning “surface of earth” or “covered with earth.” Thanks to its connections to the Aztec god of rain, Tlaloc is a masculine name brimming with history that’s interpreted to mean “he who makes things sprout.” The Aztec rain god is portrayed as a mask-wearing celestial being with large eyes and long fangs, offering a powerful and intimidating role model for baby. Ethereal and elegant, Tlaloc is an ideal option for caregivers who want baby to have an intimate connection with their roots.
