What is the meaning of the name Nochehuatl ?

Nochehuatl is Nahuatl in Origin.

Nochehuatl is a rare Nahuatl given name rooted in Classical Nahuatl. It is commonly parsed as nōchi “all, entire” + ēhua “to rise, lift, awaken,” yielding Nōchēhuātl (with the absolutive -tl): “the rising of all,” “one who raises everyone,” or “bringer of awakening.” Some speakers associate it instead with nōchtli “prickly-pear cactus,” though the vowels make that reading less likely.

Seldom recorded in surviving sources but structurally consistent with pre-Hispanic Nahua naming, the name tends to be masculine though potentially unisex. Orthography varies: Nochehuatl (Spanish-based), Nochēhuātl (with scholarly macrons), and honorific forms such as Nochehuatzin (-tzin reverential). Short forms include Noche or Chehua. Related Nahuatl elements appear in names built on -ēhua/-huā to suggest growth, rising, or leadership. Approximate pronunciation is no-CHEH-watl, with the final -tl pronounced as a single consonant.
