I know it's very confusing to a lot of people, but USA stands for United States of America. It's also the only country in the world that has America in its name.

Ironically it's not the only United States in America (but it is the only one with America in the name I believe)
Mexico is the United States of Mexico, there also were United States of Colombia, United States of Venezuela (now renamed to simply Venezuela), etc...
