Mexicans
The Spanish name for Mexico was "New Spain", as it was named by Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and several viceroys that followed him.Now, the name "Mexico" comes from ancient Nahuatl (native tongue of the Aztec or Mexica people, as they knew themselves) and is part of a larger name: "Mexico-Tenochtitlan" which is the actual name of the Aztec capital. This name means "Great place in the center of the lake Moon". The reference to "Lake Moon" is due to the fact that Tenochtitlan was founded on a marshy island in the middle of Lake Texcoco (Lake Moon for the Aztec people).
From the name given by Aztec people: Mexico-Tenochtitlan (founded in 1325).
Originally, it was the name given to their land by the Aztec civilization, who knew themselves as the Mexica people.When Mexico attained its independence from Spain in 1821, the colonists decided to rename their new country (formerly known as Viceroyalty of the New Spain) to its previous form: Mexico.
