Aztec's (Mexica) got their name from archaeologists. The true name for the group of people is Mexica. When they walked the land and were asked what they were, they replied Mexica and not Aztec. Aztec can refer to a person who has origins in Aztlan.
Aztlan is the land the United States stole from Mexico in the Mexican-American war and is part of the land the indigenous people known as the Mexica walked through after crossing over the Bering Straits, to get to this continent.
