Toponymy
The word Tlanalapa comes from the Nahuatl Tachtli 'ball game', atl 'water' and pan 'on'; so its meaning is "On or in the river of the ball game".[note 1][2][3] Another meaning could be that it decomposes into Tlachco (from tlachtli 'ball game' and the locative -co 'en') 'in the ball game' or literally 'ball game court'; atl 'water', and the locative suffix -pan 'over'; so[4]
