The name Moctezuma (also commonly used is Montezuma) or Motecuhzoma, is a name from the central Mexican language of Nahuatl, referring to a lordly frown. Many people vaguely relate it to the last emperor of the Aztecs, but that's not only vague but inaccurate. Technically, the last emperor was CuauhtÃ©moc, though it could be argued that by the time he took the throne the empire was in shambles and he wasn't a true emperor. But if we're going to talk about Aztec rulers, scholars today use the term Moctezuma for more than one.
