About Tihui

Tihui is a Nahuatl word meaning "let's go", rooted in an Aztec legend. According to the story, the god Huitzilopochtli was searching for a new land for his people when he heard a hummingbird repeating the sound "tihui, tihui." He interpreted this as a divine message urging him to lead his community to migrate, giving the word both its meaning and mystical origin, inspired by the hummingbird's call.

Tihui is occasionally used as a baby name in Central America, but it remains extremely rare in the United States. It has never reached the five-birth threshold needed to appear on official charts. Notably, the musician Feist has a daughter named Tihui.

Pronounced tee-WEE.
