So when native Mexicans pronounced the country's name they say 'Meh-hee-koh' while in America we pronounce it 'Meck-Zick-Oh'. Does the 'x that sounds like an h' come from a precolombian native language or from Spanish?

Pre-Colombian Mexico was pronounced Meh-she-co. More like Meh-she-ca since Mexico is named after the Mexica, which was the main ethnic group of the Aztec empire.

x and j are different sounds. x if I remember correctly is a hard h, j a soft one.

Bexar: bay Har
javier: ha vee air

X is used more by actual Spaniards in my experience than central or south americans.

t, also gringo that speaks spanish
