Why do you figure it is that the United States was never given it's own name... and what would you name it?

I mean... ok, put it this way, Canada is what this country is called, Jamaica is what that country is called... but the United States isn't so much a name, it's what it is... it's a description more than a name... it's 50 states united.

I figure this is why people from the US are called Americans... I mean, Canada is in North America as well, but we're Canadians. People are from Mexico are calls Mexicans... most countries have a name to call their inhabitants... but the US has "Americans."

So, what do you think would have been a good name for the US instead of the US?
