Word origin

Mexico derives from Spanish México and ultimately from Nahuatl Mēxihco, the name used for the Valley of Mexico; scholars do not agree on its original meaning.

Usage tips

  • The adjective Mexican covers food, music, people, and other things associated with Mexico, so English does not usually use Mexico as an adjective.
