They both mean top (a toy designed to spin). Someone told me that in Mexico there is another term but can't remember it. Does anyone know this term

Trompo is a toy at México.

well, wikipedia say:

Peonza is a body that can rotate about a point which lies on the center of gravity,

the diference will be trompo is a toy, and peonza a object (it can be trompo or other toy(???))

For example:
