Resumen
MARQUEZ LORENZO, Emmanuel. Tetzapotitlan - Teayo. Toponymic Accuracies in the Southern Huaxteca, Mexico. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2021, vol.16, e503. Epub 28-Abr-2023. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2021.v16.503.
This paper aims at discerning the meaning of the word Teayo, which does not mean «stone turtle» as has been traditionally accepted following the study of cloth maps known as Los Lienzos de Tuxpan. The presentation of evidence of archeological, ethno-historical, linguistic and ethnographic origin makes it possible to propose that the application of the name Teayo to the Tetzapotec region occurred for ideological reasons related to the fervent worship in pre-Hispanic times of Teem and Chicomecóatl, two fertility goddesses.
