The answer is yes. El Salvador is located on what used to be the 2nd biggest Aztec colony known as Cuscatlan. The biggest being Tenochitlan. The Nahua people (Aztecs) of Cuscatlan would call themselves "Pipil" meaning noble person in Nahualt (Nahualt is the language spoken by Aztecs).

∙ 9y agoNo. It is a common misconception than Teotihuacan was founded by the Aztecs; it was actually built 800 years before the Aztecs arrived to the Mexico valley in 1325. In fact, the real name of the city was lost in time, and was named by the Aztecs when they found the ruins of the city through their journey. Teotihuacan means "city of the gods".
The actual capital of the Aztec empire was the city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, present-day Mexico City.

Teotihuacan was a city-state (e.g. it was its own capital) built some 800 years before Aztecs arrived to the Mexico City valley in 1325.

It was a city built by the Teotihuacan people on 100 BC.

It however, had been abandoned for centuries.
