Because it was originally (white undies white undies white undies) and then settled by Sir (white undies white undies) who died of typhoid and but not before he (white undies white undies white undies) Magellan's wishes.
because the old one is across the border ,and if it was also called old Mexico the cow boys would all be vaquerros
"Nuevo Mexico" was apparently the name given by Spanish explorers in the 1560s to those lands lying north of the Rio Grande River (i.e., north of "old" Mexico).
