The Aztecs original name is "Mexica", europeans called them Aztecs because of Aztlan, the area basically western u.s.(California) It's not the proper name to call them unless they we"re still in Aztlan, Mexica are what they are. You pronounce it like Mexico but the x makes a sh sound. ME-SHE-KA

Aztec's (Mexica) got their name from archaeologists. The true name for the group of people is Mexica. When they walked the land and were asked what they were, they replied Mexica and not Aztec. Aztec can refer to a person who has origins in Aztlan. Aztlan is the land the United States stole from Mexico in the Mexican-American war and is part of the land the indigenous people known as the Mexica walked through after crossing over the Bering Straits, to get to this continent.
The Aztecs left Aztlan in 1519 during the 16th century. The Aztec Empire lasted from 1428 to 1521, almost 100 years.

They called themselves Mexica. An American writing a book coined the term Aztec to distinguish the ancient generation of Mexicans from the current generation. He came up with the name Aztec off of their homeland called Aztlan. The man who coined the name Aztec, was a German traveler in the early eigtheenth century and he thought of the name since the Mexicans came from a town called Aztlan, but the Mexicans never called themselves that.
Tenoch was an Aztec King between 1347 - 1366, according to a legend he was guided to the place by a legend and there he built Technotitlán, also the start of the Aztec culture.
They claimed to have come from a place called Aztlan, north of Mexico but nobody really knows where this place might be.
No, the Aztec people were not given their name by the Spanish. Their name, "Aztec," actually comes from the word "Aztlan," which was their legendary homeland. The Spanish adopted this term from Nahuatl, the language spoken by the Aztec people.
Aztlan is a legendary paradise.
