Tepeyac

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe located there is one of the most visited Catholic shrines in the world.

Spanish colonists erected a Catholic chapel at the site, Our Lady of Guadalupe, "the place of many miracles.

In Nahuatl, Tepeyacac is a proper noun, a combination of tepetl ("mountain"), yacatl ("nose"), and the relational word -c, ("at").

According to scholars of the Nahuatl language, "the term would generally be expected to mean 'a settlement on the ridge or brow of a hill.'

Since yacatl (the nose going first) often implies antecedence, here the word may refer to the fact that the hill is the first and most prominent of a series of three.
