==Name==
When Toluca was founded by the Matlatzincas, its original name was ''Nepintahihui'' (land of corn, ''tierra del maíz''). The current name is based on the Náhuatl name for the area when it was renamed by the Aztecs in 1473. The name has its origin in the word ''tollocan'' that comes from the name of the god, ''Tolo'', plus the locative suffix, ''can'', to denote "place of Tolo". It is also referred to in a number of Aztec codices as ''Tolutépetl'', meaning hill of the god, Tolo, an allusion to the nearby volcano. The name Toluca de Lerdo was adopted in 1861 in honor of President Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://0-search.eb.com.millenium.itesm.mx:80/eb/article-9072815 )〕
