Maiden of the moon or flower of the dew
Yatziri is a name of indigenous Mexican origin, most commonly attributed to the Mayan or Purépecha languages. While its exact etymology is sometimes debated, it is frequently interpreted as 'maiden of the moon' or associated with the morning dew on flowers. It has gained modest popularity in Mexico and among Spanish-speaking communities in the United States as a heritage-rich alternative to more common names.
