Tenochtitlan was the capital of the Aztec Empire until it was captured by the Spanish in 1521. Today, the ruins of Tenochtitlan are in the historic center of Mexico City.
The Spanish called the new colony they established on the site of Tenochtitlan "Mexico City" after conquering the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century.
Because the complete name of such city was Mexico-Tenochtitlan. It was customary for Spanish conquistadors to keep the name of the cities they conquered.
