Google said Monday it will change the name of Gulf of Mexico to “Gulf of America” after the government updates its “official government sources.”

The company also said it will start using Mount McKinley, which is currently called Denali.

Last week, President Donald Trump signed executive actions that included an order to make the name changes on official maps and federal communications.

“We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps,” the company said in an X post. “We have a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.”

Google added that the Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.

Trump said he plans to restore former President William McKinley’s name to a mountain now referred to as Denali in Alaska. He noted that McKinley made the country “very rich” through tariffs and talent.

The mountain was named Mount McKinley, until 2015, when President Barack Obama’s administration changed it to Denali as a symbolic gesture to Alaska Natives.
