technically, there is only one "United States" but you are right in that there are several countries with translations equating. Most, however, are "the United State of..." Any country in itself can be called a state, and thus would be a United State.

Most of the names come from hundreds of years ago when the countries had different names, or the english speaking people named the country after a group within the country, or got the country's name from a third language - for example, before any westerner had ever been to Japan, they had been to China, where the Chinese pronounce the characters for Japan as "Yappun" - as the word drifted from one language to another, and since a lot of foreign sounds don't fit other languages there is drift - the Y was eventually replaced with a J, and the spelling was based on the sound of the pronunciation - i.e. Japan. The Japanese word for the United States is "Beikoku" "rice country". These things are done because of a combination of convenience and the lack of direct communications hundreds of years ago. People were hearing about these far off countries via third and fourth parties - the Portugese sailors tell the spanish who tell the dutch who tell the brittish.  Ever played the "telephone game"? It's like that.

Some people say that since there is a Central, South, and North America, people in the US aren't the only Americans. It is annoying because we have been called Americans forever, and I don't know why this word is popping up now.
