What does the name Yaretzy mean?

Yaretzi is a modern Mexican girls' name. Wiktionary records it as a Spanish given name of modern usage with no etymology. It is often said to come from Nahuatl and to mean "you will always be loved," but no Nahuatl dictionary or scholarly source we checked supports that. US records show it from the late 1990s. We therefore treat its origin as undocumented.
How sure is this? Not documented. No documented etymology; the popular Nahuatl gloss is unverified.
