To be fair:

I'm American and my phone is set up in the US with region being the US.

For me it's extra strange. If I zoom out, I see "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)". However when I zoom in it changes to just "Guild of America".

I'm American also in the US.

You have to zoom in sooo much too for it to say Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America). Weird. Makes no sense why Google would do this except to schmooze up to Little-Hands Trump.

If you zoom in to 1m resolution and then slowly zoom out, you'll see the name change back and forth several times. Very odd.

It's the same for europeans, just in a different language.
