At the site of Lake Texcoco, the Aztecs built a city called, Tenochititlan. They built the city on an island in the lake for added protection.
The Aztecs.
Right. The Mexica or Aztecs named their city Mexico-Tenochtitlan, hence the name.
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").
Unknown. When the Aztecs discovered the city, it was already abandoned; Teotihuacan was the name with which the Aztecs called the city (that means "city of the Gods"). Nowadays, the original name of the city, the ethnicity of its inhabitants, their names and the reasons for their downfall is still unknown.
