Tláloc

Tlaloc is the Mesoamerican deity of rain, lightning, and water, particularly associated with agriculture and fertility. In the Aztec pantheon, Tlaloc was one of the most important gods, often depicted with goggle-like eyes, fangs, and a headdress adorned with reptilian jaguars. He was believed to control the life-giving and destructive aspects of water, such as rain, floods, and droughts. Tlaloc's worship involved elaborate rituals and sacrifices, including the offering of children to ensure favorable weather and bountiful harvests. The name "Tlaloc" translates to "He of the Mountain" or "He of the Earth" in Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. In Hebrew, the name can be transliterated as טלאלק (Tlalok), though it holds no direct meaning. Other relevant translations include "Tlaloc" in Spanish and "Tlāloc" in Classical Nahuatl. Tlaloc's influence extended beyond the Aztecs, as similar rain deities were worshipped by other Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Teotihuacan and the Toltec.
