Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Mexico, with forms such as "emxico", "meixco", and "mexcio". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. No confusable counterpart is on file for this word, a sign it's visually distinctive enough not to be mixed up with another word.

No documented word history exists for this headword, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct French form is Mexico, spelled M-E-X-I-C-O.
