From Primitive History by Hubert Howe Bancroft, “The Native Races Of The Pacific States Of North America”, Vol. V, Pub. 1876.Yohuallatonac is the name of a god as an earlier form of Quetzalcoatl in parent form. Of course then, humans would have also called themselves Yohuallatonac as kings and rarely as high-priests.
Possibly a shortened form of Yohuallatonac would yield yo-tonac, latonac, totonac, tonac.
The Aztec god of earth was dedicated to Tevacayohua and symbolized by the rabbit. (NG1)
The word TOTONAC comes from:
1. tototl and nacatl, 'bird-flesh'
2. tona, 'to be warm'
3. toto, 'three,' and naco, 'heart,' (v2)
The coast region east of Tlascala, comprising the northern half of the state of Vera Cruz, was the home of the Totonacs, whose capital was the famous Cempoala (Cempoalla, Cempoallan, Zempoala). (v2), (v4)
King Totepeuh Nonohualcatl (Camaxtli, 2nd King at Culhuacan. had been 2nd king at Tollan}Also called Nonhualca and Nonohualcatl and Mixcohuatl (actually Mixohuatl II)
Deified as Mixcohua but his father, Iztac Mixcohuatl, was the first Mixcohua
Mixcohua I (Iztac Micohuatl) was a person and based on him, Mixcohuas was the name given to an amalgamation of Chichimecs. Mixcohua II, son of Mixcohua I was the second king of the Mixcohuas. [The labels of I and II are my designations]
Called King Totepeuh Nonohualcatl at Culhuacan, he was succeeded by Yohuallatonac, 3rd king at Culhuacan who had been 3rd at Tollan
Here is a possible contradiction. The Totonacs said they left Chicomoztoc before the Chichimecs, yet Nonohuatl was succeeded by Yohuallatonac. This could mean the Chichimecs came with Nononhuatl from the Chicomoztoc motherland and then began to follow what had already been established in the new world by the Totonacs, the Yohuallatonacs.
At the same time Ihuitimal took Yohuallatonac's place in Tollan to become 4th King at Tollan
Yohuallatonac also called Huetzin which is likely same as Huemae and Nanahuetzin.
Yohuallatonac succeeded in Culhuacan by 4th rulers Quetzallacxoyatl and Huemae. Thus the names of the deities changed from Yohuallatonac to Quetzallacoatl and also from Huetzin to Huemae. (v5)
All this is to say that the Tonacs and Totonacs were the same as those called Toltecs, Mixcohuas and Chichimec Culhuas. However it is likely that the Toltecs are a subset of Mixcohuas who are a subset of Chichimec Culhuas who are a subset of Chicomoztocs who gave also birth to Totonacs (Tonacs), all of whom worshiped a family of gods whose most recently famous members were Nanahuatzin and Quetzalcoatl, who both had many different earlier and later names.
We take another step to recognize that under the Chicomoztocs we will find the Olmecs, Quiché, Mayans, Quinames, Nahuas, Nahuatl, Anáhuae, Nonohualca and most certainly in upcoming messages, we will find the Toltecs, Aztecs and Mexicans which have already been established as a by-product of other inquiries. Because a group has not been mentioned doesn't mean they are not included, for instance, Hondurans, Costa Ricans, Belizians and so on in the vicinity.The Totonacs said they were a Nahua tribe contemporaneous with the Olmecs and of the same institutions. They lived long near the banks of Lake Tezcuco where they built the two great pyramids at Teotihuacan. They said when they left Chicomoztoc, the Chichimecs had not yet left. All this will be sifted, sorted and summarized in outline form at the end of this series. Meanwhile we already have better understandings of who people are. (v5)
