Answer 2

The Naming of America

The name "America" was given to the continent in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer and cartographer who played a significant role in the early exploration of the New World. Amerigo Vespucci was born in Florence, Italy, in 1454 and made several voyages to the Americas between 1497 and 1504.

It is believed that the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller, who created the first map to depict the New World as a separate continent, named it "America" in honor of Amerigo Vespucci. This map, called the Waldseemüller map, was published in 1507 and was one of the first to show the continents of North and South America as separate from Asia. The name "America" was used to refer to the entire continent, and it gradually became the accepted name for the landmass.
