Meaning and background
The story behind Cholula
Cholula is a documented historic city in Puebla, Mexico, with a substantial pre-Hispanic archaeological heritage. Mexico’s Ministry of Culture describes its regional location and cultural significance. The place name is a credible association for a dog called Cholula, but an exact literal translation depends on careful interpretation of Indigenous-language history. Naming motivation cannot be inferred from a shared spelling.
