Quinatzin.

Headword: 
Quinatzin.
Principal English Translation: 

the name of the man who founded the important altepetl of Tetzcoco; we are retaining the reverential suffix here, awaiting clarification of the name, which seems to be that of a non-Nahua indigenous man; he also had the epithet Tlaltecatl

Attestations from sources in English: 

"Before Quinatzin (1298–1357) founded the city of Texcoco, it might have been a small village near a forest where Quinatzin's grandfather, Nopaltzin, had a hunting retreat (Alva Ixtlilxochitl 1997, 2: 19)."
