I believe that after the Articles of Confederation (America's first constitution) was written, America became the United States of America.

It depends on what you mean by "became known as".
The Declaration of Independence in 1776 was entitled "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America". So, arguably, we first called ourselves that in 1776.
But the title was first adopted formally (with capitalization) in 1787, and became official when the Constitution was ratified in 1788.
