"Mexico" is said to be from a Nahuatl word. The Nahuatl people were
also known under the broader term of Aztec. It is from the Nahuatl
that we get words like coyote and tomato. They built a huge city on an
island in the middle of Lake Texcoco, which used to lie where Mexico
City is today (it has since been drained). As many as 300,000 people
lived there, and they traveled between the island and the mainland via
several large causeways (causing very little smog in the process). One
name of this city was Metzthixihtlico.
