Morphology
The name is compositionally built from 'new' + 'Mexico' and directly signals a geographic entity related to Mexico, so a learner who knows both words will readily infer it refers to a place associated with Mexico. Place‑naming with 'New X' is cross‑linguistically common, so the referential meaning (a region/place) is transparent even if the specific political status (a U.S. state) may require world knowledge.
Etymology
New Mexico: The place name New Mexico comes from Spanish explorers who called the area 'Nuevo México' because they saw it as a New Mexico north of Mexico. That's why today New Mexico is the name of a U.S. state that borders Mexico.
