Xochilt is a feminine name derived from Nahuatl (Aztec) language, where 'xochitl' means 'flower.'

Traditionally spelled Xochitl, the variant Xochilt maintains the authentic pronunciation while offering a slight orthographic distinction. The name has been used continuously since pre-Columbian times and has experienced renewed popularity as interest in indigenous names has grown.
