Teotl Origin and Meaning

The name Teotl is a boy's name meaning "divinity, sacredness".

Also written as Teōtl, this name comes from a Nahuatl term meaning "divinity", which the Aztecs used to describe the omnipresent force and active power in the universe. Teotl manifested in the supreme god Ometeotl, and a number of lesser gods, many of which represented natural phenomena, such as fire and running water.

A rare choice as a baby name, it entered the US stats in 2024 when it was given to five boys. It is roughly pronounced as tay-o-tohl, with the final sound being very soft.
