Xochiquetzal
In Aztec mythology, Xochiquetzal (), also called Ichpochtli , meaning "maiden",〔''Nahuatl Dictionary.'' (1997). Wired Humanities Project. University of Oregon. Retrieved September 1, 2012, from (link )〕 was a goddess associated with concepts of fertility, beauty, and female sexual power, serving as a protector of young mothers and a patroness of pregnancy, childbirth, and the crafts practised by women such as weaving and embroidery. In pre-Hispanic Maya culture, a similar figure is Goddess I.
==Name==
The name ''Xōchiquetzal'' is a compound of ''xōchitl'' (“flower”) and ''quetzalli'' (“precious feather; quetzal tail feather”). In Classical Nahuatl morphology, the first element in a compound modifies the second, and thus the goddess' name can literally be taken to mean “flower precious feather”, or ”flower quetzal feather”. Her alternative name, ''Ichpōchtli'', corresponds to a personalized usage of ''ichpōchtli'' (“maiden, young woman”).
