History & Origin
Sitlali comes from the Nahuatl citlalin, 'star,' the same root behind the Aztec goddess name Citlalicue, 'she of the starry skirt.' As a modern given name it belongs to a wave of Nahuatl nature and celestial names revived by Mexican-American families honoring indigenous heritage.
Sitlali has stayed a modest but steady choice in the United States since the late 1990s, given to a small, consistent number of girls each year. It sits alongside other Nahuatl star-and-sky names as a way to carry Mexican indigenous roots into a first name.
