        The word comes from an indigenous Mexican/Native word coming from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word for “native.”

        Here is a definition according to the scholastic Handbook of Texas:

        According to one explanation, the pre-Columbian tribes (Aztecs) in Mexico called themselves Meshicas, and the Spaniards, employing the letter x (which at that time represented a “sh” and “ch” sound), spelled it Mexicas. The Indians later referred to themselves as Meshicanos and even as Shicanos, thus giving birth to the term Chicano.

        Therefore, the term stuck to all Americans of Mexican decent. Sometimes, the word “Chicano” can be applied to a Mexican national who was brought to the United States at a very early age and adapted the “Chicano” lifestyle.

                ANYONE who wants to be part of la Raza looking for the homeland of Aztlan. Mostly used by Mexican-Americans but open to all Vatos who want to connect to their indigenous roots and still keep it OG in the Barrios. Someone who DOES NOT identify as Hispanic due to its oppressive origin.

                  I was born in Mexico in the 50s and I used to hear my dad in Mexico refer to other Mexicans as Chicanos. He told me it was a term of endearment (TOE) and like most TOEs in the Spanish language , they often take root as baby talk. Such as Salvador is Chavador or Chava for short. Merced is Meched or Meche for short. Marisela is Malichela or Chela for short. And Mexicano is Mechicano or Chicano for short. Nothing to do with being born in the USA or not. Nothing to do with Parents.
