The Origin of the Word “America”
For a while after the first voyage of Columbus in 1492, America was called the “New World”. Later, however it was decided by mapmakers in Europe to name the new World after a man named Amerigo Vespucci. He was an Italian merchant and adventurer who made three trips to the New World. Columbus became the first explorer to reach the mainland of South America in 1498, but Amerigo Vespucci soon wrote a book in which he claimed to have gone there in 1497. This was not true but people did not know for many years that Amerigo Vespucci was lying.
