A nobleman of Tlailotlacan Amaquemecan had this name, apparently in the sixteenth century or early seventeenth. His full name was don Lucas de Santiago Chahuatlatoatzin. His parents were Andrés de Santiago Totococtzin and Anatzin (daughter of don Domingo Ixteocalletzin). So his grandfather was already baptized and bore a Spanish baptismal name. However, his great grandfather did not. He was Miccacalcatl, a Chichimeca lord and ruler of Tequaipan Amaquemecan Chalco. And Miccacalcatl claimed as his great grandfather the ruler Huitzilihuitl. (all according to Chimalpahin) Such genealogies link pre-contact with Spanish colonial times.
