Unveiling History
1. America The name "America" originates from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci's voyages to the New World led to the realization that the lands discovered by Columbus were not part of Asia but a new continent. In 1507, a German cartographer named Martin Waldseemüller used the Latin version of Vespucci’s first name, "Americus," to label the newly identified continent on his map. The use of “America” was initially applied to South America, and over time, it came to represent both continents. Despite Vespucci's significant contribution, he remains less well-known compared to Columbus, whose name is more widely associated with the Americas.
