the name Huitilopochtli is translated as Left Handed Hummingbird. it comes from the Nahuatl words for hummingbird and left. He was the Aztec God of War and patron of warriors. In one legend he is the son of the divine pair Ometecuhtli and Omehuatl. In another he is the son of Coatlicue and has a sister and 400 brothers.

he was the patron god of the Aztecs of Tenochtitlan. and in one legend told them to leave their homeland of Aztlan telling them that their new home would have the same mythical properties as the old one. He led them to where Tenochtitlan was founded and planned what they should do on the way.
