But how can they call themselves AMERICAN Airlines, when all western hemisphere based airlines are inherently "American"?

Because when it was tried as PAN-American Airlines it ended up as a silly tv show...

it's like the difference between "the facebook" and "facebook", the snap!

BTW, How come can there be LAN Peru, when LAN means Lineas Aereas Nacionales (de Chile)?

Subtle Imperialism... like certain nicknames

Do you really require an explanation on how corporate names work or brand names?

Maybe American Airlines is truly the real Americans here and the "others" are just knockoffs.

Clobbering someone with that thing will surely shut them up!
