Name Calling

 
I wonder if anyone in the group knows the meaning of two words used by my parents to chide us when we were children.  My mother, a Native American-Mexican from New Mexico used to call me "surumata".  My father, who was from Jerez, Zacatecas, used to call me "tarayata".  What are these names?  Are they Indian tribes, or what?
 
Thanks,
