Nahua

[David Becraft]

Hi Cindy,
 
Depending on where you are at, "Nahuas" refer to themselves as /macehualli/ --> /macehualtin/.

Hello, all:
 
I was wondering if the Nahuas referred to themselves as “Nahua” or just as individual tribes (e.g., Mexica, Acolhua, etc.).  Does the term “Nahua’ originate from the fact that the tribes in the central valley of Mexico all spoke Nahuatl?  Does the word “Nahua” mean anything in Nahuatl?
 
Thank you,
Cindy WG
