Abstract
- Seasonal migratory patterns within Central Mexico led to the creation of placenames that emphasized available resources.
- Aztec toponyms focus heavily on ecological features.
- The Aztec did not preserve events or human accomplishments in placenames as much as the lowland Maya.
- Toponyms can convey a strategy for survival and recommend an optimal path in certain seasonal conditions.
