Tenochtitlan
i thought his name was Hernando cortez.......hmm........but he overtook the Aztecs' capital city, tenochtitlan.
The Aztecs original name is "Mexica", europeans called them Aztecs because of Aztlan, the area basicaly western u.s.(California) It's not the proper name to call ... Mexico
Tenochtitlan
They didn't call themselves Aztecs, they called themselves Mexica. The Aztec word was created later for archeological terms to distinguish the ancient from the modern day Mexicans. ^ is all wrong. They called themselves Chichimeca. The other tribes thought that this name was funny, but when they did something good, the Toltecs helped them out and started by changing their name to Aztec.

Teotihuacan was a city-state (e.g. it was its own capital) built some 800 years before Aztecs arrived to the Mexico City valley in 1325. By the time the Aztecs found the city, it was already abandoned. In fact, the actual name of the city was lost in the sands of time, so the Aztecs named it as Teotihuacan ("City of the Gods").

Mexico got its name from the Mexica people (wrongly named as Aztecs by contemporary archeologists). It comes from their capital city name: Mexico-Tenochtitlan. It means "place of cactus in the middle of the Moon Lake".
Tenochtitlan
Tenochtitlan, a watery swamp.
The answer is yes. El Salvador is located on what used to be the 2nd biggest Aztec colony known as Cuscatlan. The biggest being Tenochitlan. The Nahua people (Aztecs) of Cuscatlan would call themselves "Pipil" meaning noble person in Nahualt (Nahualt is the language spoken by Aztecs).
