A name that means "aztec earth + love + purification goddess".

Tlazolteotl is from the Nahuatl tlazolli (filth) + teōtl (deity) — eater of filth (the goddess who purifies sin). Tlazolteotl is the Aztec goddess of earth, love, fertility, sexuality, healing, midwifery, and the purification of moral transgressions — one of the divine feminine figures of Mesoamerica. Her cult was widely practiced across the Aztec, Huastec, and Olmec civilizations.
