<br>eagle", so Cuauhnenemi would be "walks like an eagle".<br><br>For "Walking Eagle" I would vaguely guess Nenemilizcuauhtli.<br><br>I don't know if a historical example can be found for this as a
<br>personal name. In case this name should be used for someone or<br>something (like a company), think about it twice. An eagle that walks<br>doesn't look majestic at all, lumping, swaying from side to side. In<br>Native North America the "Walking Eagle"-name is a runnig joke, a name
<br>that would be given to nonnative politicians in fake "adoption"<br>ceremonies. It boils down to ... why can't the eagle fly? ... various<br>possible answers ...<br><br>Just my 2 cents on this aspect.<br><br>
