Name
"Anáhuac" means "near the water". The name passed on to the whole network because of the location of the first university in the network, the '"Anáhuac México Norte University" located in the area of Lomas Anáhuac in Interlomas in Mexico City. Symbolically, the name refers to the lake region that gave central place at the Aztec capital: Tenochtitlán, Central America's most populous and largest cultural development, where Mexico City and the university now stand.
Motto
"Vince In Bono Malum", or "Defeat Evil with Good".
Athletics
The school has an American football team, the Leones Anáhuac Cancún, which has competed in ONEFA since 2007.[5] They have won two conference titles in 2009 and 2019.[6][7]
