Hello Susana,
Xoxopanxoco means 'fruit of Spring'. I believe it is used as a personal name
in the early 16th century Morelos census. I also believe the name
Xoxopanxoco was also used in the Castaneda mythology, though I know that
literature very poorly.
I hope this helps,
Mike Swanton

Hello,
I came across a Nahuatl text written in a book, and found an incredible word
I was not able to decipher: XOXOPANXOCO (??!!). The complete text is:

Can a nicuicanitl huiya
xochitl in noyollo ya
nicmana nocuic a ohuaya ohuaya
o xoxopanxoco o xoxopanxoco.

Thanks for your help.

Susana
