What Yaretzi means
Yaretzi is a girl name of Nahuatl (Aztec) origin meaning "always loved". It comes from no attested Nahuatl parts; the popular gloss 'you will always be loved' does not match any dictionary word. It is pronounced yah-REHT-see.
Folk etymology: baby-name sites gloss it 'you will always be loved', but no Classical Nahuatl root supports this; it is a modern Mexican coinage in a Nahuatl style. Top-30 girls' name in Mexico in the 2010s.
