1. Mexico's name originated from the Nahuatl language, which was the language spoken by the Aztecs. Mextli was an Aztec god and Mexihco means, "Place where Mextli lives." This placed was referred to as one of the Aztec Pyramids, and it later became Mexico City. (during the Aztec times the city was known as Tenonchtitlan)

1. How did Mexico get its name?
The name Mexico comes from the Aztec name for present day Mexico City, Mexico-Tenochtitlan. Mexico is derived from the name of the Nahua Aztec tribe Mexica.
2. Are there any Aztec left?
There are no pure Aztecs left. Most died of diseases brought by the Spanish such as smallpox. The remaining Aztec people mixed with the Spanish conquistadors and their offspring are known as mestizos. There are still people descended from the Aztecs alive, but there are no pure Aztec people anymore.

1. How did Mexico get its name?
Mexico is named after what the Aztec called themselves, Mexica. The Aztec ruled much of Mexico when the Spanish first arrived.
2. Are there any Aztec left?
No one was able to completely destroy the Aztec people. People of Aztec descent live today, and the Aztec left behind wisdom, artistry, and folklore.
1. The Aztecs called themselves "Mexica" which was later passed on to the mexican people.
2. There are no original Aztecs left since that time period was nearly 500 years ago, so they're dead. The only relation would probably be some Mexicans who consider themselves Aztecs.

The Aztec called themselves “Mexica” in their own language (Nahuan), thus the name Mexico formed. Mexico City was originally Tenochtitlán, the Aztec Capital.
