Huehue Zaca or Çaca (Nahuatl pronunciation: [ˈweːweʔ ˈsaka]), also Zacatzin (Çacatzin, [saˈkatsiːn]), was a 15th-century Aztec noble, prince and a warrior who served as tlacateccatl ("captain general"[1]) under the ruler Moctezuma I, his brother.[2] The name of Zaca is probably derived from Nahuatl zacatl, meaning "grass"; -tzin is an honorific or reverential suffix. Huehue is Nahuatl for "the elder", literally "old man".
