Mxmox said most of what I would want to include, but I also want to respond in regards to her name. I had some of the same concerns as we were writing, and did some brief research. As always, I could have missed something, and I'm happy to be corrected by someone more informed, but this is what I found. | Mxmox said most of what I would want to include, but I also want to respond in regards to her name.

Without getting too deep in the weeds, it's reasonable to say that a decent amount of Nahua people have Hispanic names. Many of them took names through Christian baptisms and held onto them through generations (although exact numbers are hard to pin down). From what I can gather, reclaiming heritage by picking a Nahuatl name is a point of discussion in Nahua cultural circles, but there's nothing necessarily inaccurate about her having a Christian Hispanic name while also coming from a Nahua background. | Without getting too deep in the weeds, it's reasonable to say that a decent amount of Nahua people have Hispanic names.

My reading would be that the communities Ortiz comes from use Christian names, and she's maintaining connections to her communities in particular- after all, the Nahua aren't a cultural monolith, and her cultural ties are going to be to specific Nahua communities that could have any combination of Nahua and Hispanic names. | My reading would be that the communities Ortiz comes from use Christian names, and she's maintaining connections to her communities in particular- after all, the Nahua aren't a cultural monolith, and her cultural ties are going to be to specific Nahua communities that could have any combination of Nahua and Hispanic names. | ||
