They're called americanos because the Italians (or perhaps the Spaniards according to some sources, the etymology is unclear) were making fun of Americans for drinking weak coffee. Much like we've historically made fun of them for drinking weak beer.
I say we continue calling them americanos.
Wait, there is beer weaker than American beer?
Mexican beer for one
I meant that we make fun of Americans for their weak beer, sorry if that wasn't clear!
