TAPATIOS
Being "tapatío" is a source of pride for many. This word comes from the state of Jalisco, specifically from its capital: Guadalajara. You've probably heard it on more than one occasion.
According to the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), the word "tapatío" is an adjective used to refer to someone who was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. It can also be used in contexts such as architecture, gastronomy or music, as long as they are related to the city. For example: "the tapatios building", "the tapatios restaurant" or "the tapatios food".
However, its etymological origin comes from the Nahuatl "tapatiotl", which means "worth three". During the 17th century, it was used as a type of currency in an exclusive flea market in the city. According to historians, this "coin" consisted of three small sacks containing ten cocoa beans each. Over the years, this term became the demonym for the people originally from Guadalajara.
There is even a song called "Jarabe Tapatío" that is considered the representative anthem of the state of Jalisco. The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) indicates that this song "symbolizes the courtship of men and women" and internationally, it has become a symbol of Mexico.
