Theoretically, the man who named Mexico is Hernan Cortes; a Spanish explorer who conquered the Aztec Empire; in modern day Mexico, he enslaved members of the Aztec tribe and destroyed a lot of there development; in the realm of modern day Mexico. Due to the Spanish colonization of the Aztecs, all modern Mexicans are mixed of spanish and native Indian ancestry.
