Sep 4, 2020 at 16:16	comment	added	Tony Dallimore		I though the idea that America was named after Amerigo Vespucci was discredited since first names are not used when naming objects, places or anything else. Much of the exploration of North America was by John Cobot who is said to have named it after his sponsor the Bristol merchant Richard Ameryck/Amerike.

Sep 3, 2020 at 16:51	comment	added	FumbleFingers		I asked Google When was the word American first used in English? (I didn't type the question mark, obviously): The earliest recorded use of this term in English is in Thomas Hacket's 1568 translation of André Thévet's book France Antarctique; Thévet himself had referred to the natives as Ameriques. In the following century, the term was extended to European settlers and their descendants in the Americas.
