      For me it shows “Golf of America” unless you zoom out, in which case it shows “Golf of Mexico (Golf of America)”

      Google Maps l screenshot showing the "Golf of Mexico (Golf of America)"

      Edit: something is being silly and not letting me post 2 different pictures, so here is the zoomed out one.
