2. could Mex. a:xcan iuhquin be used to mean something like "which is the same as [what we call] Mexico today"?

and
 
3. When was "Mexico" (or at least the abbreviation, Mex.) first used to designate either the Valley of Mexico and--perhaps later--for New Spain as a whole (or at least territory beyond the Valley of Mexico) by folks who lived there?
