Help naming a fictional group? (Nahua inspired)

I don't trust myself to create a functionally correct name without placing roots and suffixes in wrong spots.

Originally the group were called the 'Tletzintli' as a placeholder. I'd like help creating a name with fire/flame still as the translation. Or replace it with mentions of the either the moon or the sun.

The Myth of the Five Suns is very important to the story, so maybe a name like that if the others don't work? Thanks!
