(a loanword from Spanish)
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.
