Etymology
The term Chaxiraxi — also found in documentation with the variants Chaciraxi, Chijoragi, Chijoraji, and Chirijoraji — is of Guanche origin, possibly derived from a primitive Tamazight form ta-ahghər-ahəghi. She was also referred to as Achmayex Guayaxerax (in Insular Tamazight: Ach mayes Wayyaghiragh, meaning "behold the mother of him, the Spirit who sustains the universe"). == Present-day worship ==
