Google said the name changes, which also includes using Mount McKinley, will happen when Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) is updated.

Google announced that it would be referring to the "Gulf of Mexico" as "Gulf of America" after Trump signed an executive order changing the name. The search engine behemoth says the change follows its practice of changing names of places when they have been updated by official government sources.

President Donald Trump has the power to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, but whether people will call it that is an open question.
