if you would have read the artical that I liked you could indeed see they called themselves Mexica (even if I must use these letters to represent the sounds). They never used the work Aztecs, its just a dumbing down for people, which seems it was needed, but still whitewashing.
I don't need to read the article you linked, because SOMEONE made up the term "Mexica", just like someone made up the term "Aztec" (and every other word ever).
The term is not eternal, not deemed by God (or Quetzalcoatl)...
Also there were a variety of peoples, to say "they called themselves Mexica" as if they were one people is actually dumbing it down, friend. They didn't even all speak the same language.
Dumbing down for people, indeed. It's all over your head, and I'm sorry
