Zapotecan girl's name

Question

I'm trying to help a family who had a baby last night. They want to give the little girl a Zapotecan name. I've been browsing and have found two: Nayeli means "I love you" and Zyanya means "always." Any others? Thanks!

Answer 2

How about Iztaccíhuatl (name of the 3rd highest mountain in Mexico. In náhuatl it means "Mujer blanca" even though this mountain is more commonly called "La mujer dormida" (The sleeping woman) because of the form and the white because of the snow covering.
