Chalchiuhtlicue, whose name means “She of the Jade Skirt”, was the Aztec goddess of running water, such as rivers and oceans, and was considered the patroness of navigation. She was one of the most important deities, patroness of childbirth, wife and feminine counterpart of Tlaloc, the rain god. In some sources she is described instead as the wife of the god Xiuhtecuhtli. Chalchiuhtlicue was also the protector of childbirth.

According to the Aztec Legend of the Five Suns, Chalchiuhtlicue governed over the fourth world, or fourth Sun. During this era, Chalchiuhtlicue became the sun and the sky became water. A terrible flood hit the world and humans became fish.
