Cortés Totoquihuaztli.

an elite indigenous family name, partly taken from the Spanish expedition leader Hernando Cortés; e.g. don Antonio Cortés Totoquihuaztli the younger, who ruled in Tlacopan (Tacuba); he was a member of the ruling dynasty there; he died in 1614, possibly of matlaltotonqui; he left behind two small daughters
(central Mexico, 1614)

He married doña Juana de Alvarado.

Don Antonio Cortés Totoquihuaztli of Tlacopan apparently wrote to Charles V in 1552 to request (and received) a coat of arms for his family and one for his town.

Cortés.

Orthographic Variants: 
Hortiz, Cordes

a key name in the Spanish invasion and colonization of Mexico; e.g. don Hernando Cortés, Spanish conqueror; indigenous people were also known to take this name; e.g. a man in Tlaxcala with the name "Cordes" finished up the term of office of don Juan Maxixcatzin when he died in 1562. Hernando's son, don Martín Cortés, also figures in some manuscripts. It might be worth noting that in these attestations, we never see Hernán as the first name of Cortés.
