The Geographic Names Information System database changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America earlier this week. It came after President Donald Trump's executive order on his first day in office calling for the change and the Department of the Interior's adoption of the new name last month.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees airline flights, and the U.S. Coast Guard, which patrols the coastal waters, also announced changing the name to Gulf of America on their paperwork.
