literally, a possessor of flowers; someone who bewitches or seduces women (Wimmer 2004, citing Sahagún); Sahagún describes a doer of evil, a feminine man, and a "pervert" in different books; Xochihua is also a person's name (attested male in one place and female in another)
one who produces and cares for flowers or gives flowers; perhaps the root verb is maca (to give) instead of mani (in the manner of); glyphs will show a hand-held bouquet, which may remind us that maitl (hand) is at the root of maca
