a personal name (see attestations)
Diego Apanecatl was a tlatlapo (gatekeeper or doorkeeper, probably of the local Franciscan friary) in late sixteenth-century Tula.
Apanecatl is a name still in use in the 21st century in the Sierra de Zongolica, Estado de Veracruz. The authors of this publication suggest the root of apantli, canal, in trying to interpret the name.
