My daughter and granddaughter are both named Xochitl and we have a very long history of the name in our family on the Mexican side. To state that SOH-CHEE is the pronunciation of Xochilt is incorrect. The “T” and “L” are pronounced in the formal name , SOH – CHEE is the pronunciation of Xochi, a shortened form of Xochitl very commonly used, especially in the U.S. for girls named Xochitl. Equally common, especially among those who identify them themselves as “Indian” in Mexico, and to a lesser degree the population in mexico generally (and rarely in the U.S.) is Xoch, in the USA pronounced as either SOACH or SOCK. But overall Xoch is much more rarely used than Xochi which has such a cute sound to many ears.
The formal pronunciation in Nahuatl, the language of Aztecs (and in this the “T” is pronounced) is for Xochitl is SOH – CHILL – TEH – LEH where TEH-LEH is run together very fast. The “Xo” giving the sound of SOH is archaic Spanish.
For my grandaughter, though she is formally Xochitl, we have modified the name informally in the family to Xochita, SOH -CHEE-TAH, meaning of course little flower.

It’s a name only for girls No for boys. It bothers me that the “T & L” aren’t pronounced. My name isn’t pronounced “Soh Chee” come on there’s a reason why the t & l are there for and there aren’t silence letters. Also it should have accent in the o = Xóchitl

I agree that our name Xochitl Is pronounce with the T AND the L and it Is ashame and sad i continually at my 62 years of age i have to continually keep correcting, informing, reminding the same thing even with my family. My parents gave this name but Will not pronounce it right my brothers and sisters too! I finally was okey with my now exhusband and one of my brothers calling me Xoch and my 40 yr old daughter Is called Xochi even though her name Is also Xochitl. I like and am proud to have Xochitl as my name. I was told it meant Flower of the Water and Joy (FLOR DEL AGUA Y ALEGRIA)
