Tlaloc

Meaning of Tlaloc

The name Tlaloc is a unique and culturally rich choice for a baby boy, originating from the Nahuatl language. Pronounced as TLAH-lohk (/tɬlɑk/), Tlaloc is deeply rooted in Aztec mythology, where he was revered as the god of rain, water, and fertility. This powerful association with nature and life-giving elements makes Tlaloc a meaningful name that carries a sense of strength and reverence for natural forces. The variation "Tlalok" also exists, though it is less commonly used. In recent years, the name has seen sporadic use in the United States, with occurrences ranging from 5 to 18 newborns annually since 1977. Despite its rarity, Tlaloc's profound historical and cultural significance makes it an exceptional choice for parents seeking a distinctive and evocative name for their child.
