Jojutla is a municipality located in the state of Morelos, Mexico. The city of Jojutla de Juárez serves as its municipal seat. The name Jojutla is derived from Nahuatl and has multiple etymological interpretations; it can mean "Place of abundant blue skies" or be interpreted as "Place abundant in blue paint."
Historical records provide context for the town's naming, including accounts by Father José Agapito Mateo Minos in 1722 regarding the presence of xoxouki plants. The area is also noted for its archaeological history, specifically a unique three-part pyramid consisting of a momozok, a turret, and a campanile. Although demolished by the colonial government, remnants of this structure can still be observed in the staircase of the municipal palace.
