a person's name (attested as male), a title, or perhaps a person affiliated with a place called Itzcotlan; the name clearly has something to do with obsidian (itztli)
A famous man associated with Colhuacan was given the title "Itzcotecatl" according to Diego Durán.
"ytoca yzcotecatl = named Itzcotocatl[?]" -- The vowel change here is copied precisely as published. (Cuernavaca region, ca. 1540s)
"I, Pedro de Paz, councilman, interrogated the Palpan elders: the first Martín Tlacuchcalcatl,² the second Miguel Itzcotecatl...."
Another Juan Itzcotecatl is mentioned in a letter in Nahuatl of 1557.
"Itzcotecatl, itzcoteca, de Itzcotlan. Le encontramos escrito silábicamente con itztli y comitl, haciendo Itz-co-tlan, 16, ó bien con solo el símbolo de la obsidiana, 16bis, que produce el sonido inicial."
