Olteca's name likely combines the names of the Aztecs, the ones who made Chichen Itza (Pizza. Wonder how many people here will get that reference), aka the American Pyramids, and the Olmecs, the creators of the famous stone heads. Julio's name can be translated as "Jove's Child," but otherwise, the name has its origins in Mexico. Now according to familyeducation dot com, Aguilera's name is Spanish. It's a habitational name from a place in Soria province, named Aguilera from aguilera ‘eagle’s nest’ (from Latin aquilaria ‘place of eagles’). So, we've got a Spanish name, a Mexican name, and a name based upon at least 2 Mesoamerican/South American Civilization names. Though, now that I've thought about it, Olteca's name could include the Inca Civilization, the creators of Machu Picchu.
