The Declaration of Independence, written in 1776, contains at the very top of the document the phrase "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America" (capitalization as in original). So it wasn't "added"; it's been there since the very beginning. There are other countries who are known as the local equivalent of "United States of (whatever)" (one example is Mexico, which is officially "Estados Unidos Mexicanos"), but "the United States" is almost universally assumed to refer to the United States of America.
