The Mexicans did not call any place Aztlan. That is a probably mythological country reputedly home to the Nahuatl people. What is now the State of California (and a lot more, including most of what is now Arizona and Nevada) was called Alta California. Of course, Baja California is still Baja California.

Before becoming a part of the United States, Alta California was colonized by the Spanish Empire in 1769. After Mexican independence in 1821, Alta California remained as part of Mexico until 1846, when it was the independent California Republic for one brief week. Following the conclusion of the Mexican-American war of 1848, California was annexed by the United States and was admitted to the Union as the thirty-first state on September 9, 1850

California.
California is a Spanish word. It is just pronounced a little different (Kah-lee-for-nee-yah).
Other states are also Spanish--Texas (Tay-has), Arizona (Ah-ree-zoe-nah), Colorado (Koh-low-rah-thoe), Nevada (Neh-vah-dah), etc.
