TALTICPAC: Word From the Nahuat language, TAL:Earth, IJPAC: Above, Talticpac: firmament, sky, universe, celestial vault.
The name Talticpac was chosen by me for various reasons some of which I will mention below:
1) To recognize and honor my Pipil roots (Nahua group native to El Salvador), the wisdom of my ancestors and the land that witnessed the birth of both my parents. An homage as well to Atlacatl, Atonal, Anastacio Aquino, Farabundo Marti, Cayetano Carpio and all of those who have fought to preserve our Cuzcatlecan identity. In essence I wish to honor the place where the blood that flows in my veins originates from.
2) Talticpac is a very powerful word that recognizes that the material world is not our only influence and that we are in fact also influenced by that which exists in the other realm (that is to say the spiritual realm). In my opinion this influence is exerted on every facet of our lives from the most simple matter to the most complex including physically, mentally and spiritually.
3) Talticpac is what I will name my future naturopathic medical clinic in the city of Tucson Arizona when I graduate from medical school.
4) Furthermore I would never have thought of this name without recognizing the salvadorian musical group that specializes in ancestral Maya-Pipil music that made the word Talticpac their name. Said musical group has a long presence in El Salvador, I would have provided a direct link to their website but unfortunately the website is non-existent now nevertheless I did provide a link to a website where you can hear their music:

5) Showcase the contributions that the communities that originated from Anahuac (Mexico, Central and South America) make to the nation of the United States.
Ashta Nemana nuiknew! (Nahuat= Until Next time my friends!)
