Noxochicoztli is Nahuatl in Origin.

Noxochicoztli is a rare given name of Classical Nahuatl (Uto-Aztecan) origin. It combines the possessive prefix no- “my,” xōchitl “flower” (stem xōchi-), and cozcatl/coztli “necklace, garland,” yielding the sense “my flower garland” or “my flower necklace.” The image evokes honor, beauty, and festive adornment, much like the wreaths offered in ceremony and worn by celebrants in central Mexico.

While the exact name is modern as a personal name, the compound xōchicozcatl “flower garland” appears in colonial Nahuatl writings and songs, part of the broader aesthetic of “flower and song.” Today Noxochicoztli is an uncommon, gender‑neutral choice. Orthographic variants include Noxōchicozcatl and Noxochicozcatl; without the possessive, Xōchicozcatl/Xochicozcatl. Possible short forms are Noxi and Xochi.
