"Tepe" which means making tepetl hill. "C" which is the lag used in Nahuatl suffix of nouns in Tl, last two letters are replaced with the letter C which means "In" and Tepec means "on the hill." When the Nahuatl word tepe (hill) ending in tl (popocatepetl example) is not habitable. When done in c is habitable (eg Chapultepec.
