Xicana- I did some research... okay, I googled it
According to Wikipedia: "The terms Chicano and Chicana (also spelled Xicana) were originally used by Americans in reference to U.S. citizens of Mexican descent. The term began to be widely used during the Chicano Movement, mainly amongst Mexican Americans, especially in the movement's peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The self-identification Chicano is still in popular usage today by some Mexican-American youth. However, the term Chicano was never in use in the Southernmost sections of Texas and was not historically mentioned by members of the Mexican-American community."
