Ejutla de Crespo is a city and a municipality of the same name, in the central valleys of the Mexican state of Oaxaca. "Ejutla" is from the Nahuatl "exotl" and "tla", meaning "place of abundant green beans"; "Crespo" is for Fr. Manuel Sabino Crespo, who fought alongside Morelos in the War of Independence and was executed on 19 October 1815 and in whose memory the State Congress decreed a change in the name from Villa de Ejutla to Heroica Ciudad de Ejutla de Crespo on 11 December 1885. cite web |url=http://www.inafed.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/oaxaca/municipios/20028a.htm Heroica Ciudad de Ejutla de Crespo |title= Enciclopedia de los Municipios de Mexico Estado de Oaxaca Heroica Ciudad de Ejutla de Crespo ]
