Mexico's REAL name is "Estados Unidos Mexicanos", which would translate into "Mexican United States" (not United States of Mexico), but it was close enough. It is also called the "Mexican Republic", but it used in a bit less formal manner. Then you have "Mexico", which is the common name.

I would say that you're a lot closer than most of the people who seem to think they know everything. As someone else pointed out, the full name is Estados Unidos Mexicanos. According to the CIA Factbook, this translates to United Mexian States. I'm no expert in Spanish, but I think it would have to be Estados Unidos de Mexico to be literally translated to United States of Mexico.

Up until a couple of years ago the real name of Mexico was the United States of Mexico. If you look at a map of Mexico you'll see that the country is made up of states, exactly like the US. Recently, (two or three years ago) the name was officially changed to Mexico.

The United Mexican States. Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
To the person who said there are two official names, you are mistaken. There is only one official name. There was a move in congress a few years back to change the name to La República Mexicana, but the official name remains: los Estados Unidos Mexicanos.

I don't understand why there are answers "screaming" it is not.
The official name of MY country is:
"Estados Unidos Mexicanos", wich translates to "United Mexican States, "Mexican United States" or "United States of Mexico". I think the first translation is better, and the considered "international translation"
You can see the name in any official paper: passports, embassies, currency. Every mexican coin has the Escudo Nacional ("national shield"?) with the name.

Estados Unidos Mexicanos.
It translates to United Mexican States, they have 31 states.
So yes you're right, United States of Mexico is pretty much the same thing.
