The forces of the Mexican Revolution took their names from their leaders. The villistas followed Francisco Villa and his División del Norte. The zapatistas followed Emiliano Zapata in Morelos. The carrancistas followed Venustiano Carranza, the Primer Jefe, the First Chief. The obregonistas followed Álvaro Obregón.
A teaching text of UNAM describes General Saturnino Cedillo as passing from zapatista to villista and finally to obregonista.
