The name "Axolotl" comes from Nahuatl, the Aztec language. One translation of the name connects the Axolotl to Xolotl. The most common translation is "water-dog" . "Atl" for water and "Xolotl" for dog. [14] In the Aztec calendar, the ruler of the day, Itzcuintli ("Dog"), is Mictlantecuhtli, the god of death and lord of Mictlan, the afterlife. [15]
The dorsal side is blue, speckled with orange dots; ventral part is yellow. However, these colours can change when the fish is under stress. The male has a prominent forehead with a bony 'crown', and is bigger than the female (which is a somewhat uncommon feature in fishes). The fish changes colour rapidly after death.
