Santa Catarina Ayotzingo is a town in the state of Mexico, that belongs to the municipality of Chalco and forms part of the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico. Ayotzinco was the first name that was given by Chichimecas to the town when they founded it. Ayotzinco means “Where the turtles sunbathe”, in the Nahuatl language. Ayotzinco's exact date of founding is uncertain, but it is approximately 800 years old. When Spaniards arrived, they changed the name to “Ayotzingo” because of the pronunciation, as they did with many other words in Náhuatl.
