The word "Mexicans" is derived from the term "Mexica", which was the name used by the indigenous people who established the ancient city of Tenochtitlan in the 14th century. The Mexica people were part of the larger Nahua ethnic group, and their language, Nahuatl, played a significant role in the development of the term. Over time, the name "Mexica" evolved into "Mexicans" to refer to the inhabitants of the region that is now modern-day Mexico.
