aztek is in Origin.

Aztek is a modern given name drawn from the ethnonym Aztec, ultimately from Classical Nahuatl āztēcatl (“person from Aztlan”) and āztēcah (plural). Aztlan is the legendary homeland of the Mexica; its name is often parsed as “place of herons” (from āztatl, heron) or “place of whiteness.” As a result, Aztek carries the sense “of Aztlan; Aztec,” evoking the rich Nahua cultural heritage of central Mexico.

Used as a first name only in very recent decades, Aztek appears in English-speaking and some Central/Eastern European contexts, with the -k spelling matching Polish and Czech orthography and the tech-influenced K/Z naming style. The more common variant is Aztec; Spanish Azteca sometimes appears, especially for girls. Related choices include Aztlan, Tenoch, and Itzel. Aztek is typically considered unisex. Nicknames include Az and Azzie. Because it derives from an ethnonym, some families consider cultural sensitivity and context when choosing it.
