Aztlan is the home of the Nahua peoples. It is an island surrounded by water. The meaning of the word, "Aztlan" is uncertain. Somebody suggested that the meaning is "place of Herons" or "place of egrets"—the explanation given in the Crónica Mexicáyotl—but this is not possible under Nahuatl morphology: "place of egrets" is Aztatlan. Other proposed derivations include "place of whiteness" and "at the place in the vicinity of tools", sharing the āz- element of words such as teponāztli, "drum" (from tepontli, "log").
The origin of the Nahua peoples originated in Chicomoztoc, or "the Place of the Seven Caves." Each cave represented a different Nahua group: the Xochimilca, Tlahuica, Acolhua, Tlaxcalteca, Tepaneca, Chalca, and Mexica (My Tribe). These tribes lived in Chicomoztoc for as long as they've stayed in there until their departure. Along with these people, the Olmec-Xicalanca and Xaltocamecas are also said to come from Aztlan due to our common linguistic origin.
The tribes left Aztlan for various reasons and on different times, with us Mexica being the last to do so. In our case, we left due to our patron deity, Huitzilopochtli, told us to do so.in order to find a new home and construct a great city that would be called Tenochtitlan.
The location of Aztlan is debated, with Aztlan even being speculated to be in Washington State.
However, I propose that Aztlan is located in Oasisamerica.
Oasisamerica, like Aridoamerica and Mesoamerica, is a region in North America with distinct cultures and are home to agricultural tribes surrounded by the vast Aridoamerican plane.
All three regions of North America are mostly populated by Uto-Aztecan peoples that have similar ancestry and linguistic traits.
The local indigenous tribes of Oasisamerica, e.g. the Hopi, have similar origin stories such as humans living underground in a cave and apparently having tribes that migrated south.
