I remember doing a school project on him in the 5th grade. He is why the Americas are called the Americas

Groundbreaking research there.

Bad PR. Next time, Amer should hire a better agency.
by Konopelskiverdi10 months ago
Or Washington Irving. He did wonders for Columbus and Paul Revere.
by Worried-Set491810 months ago
Baffling to me. America is literally named after him and they don't have a clue.

Do you know who any other country is named for? I certainly don't.
by jmaggio10 months ago
One country is not the same as two entire continents.
by Anonymous10 months ago
Ok then tell me who the other continents are named for.
by jmaggio10 months ago
We talk about him enough to know who he was.
by Exotic-Tip-803610 months ago
His name is too hard to pronounce.
by Brantlockman10 months ago
You can simply call him ‘Murgo
by Anonymous10 months ago
I prefer Pucci.
by Anonymous10 months ago
Probably not a lot of talk about Vasco DaGama either.

Glad his first name was used. Can you imagine the song: 🎶 God Bless Vespucci…land that I love 🎵 It just doesn't sound right.
by Anonymous10 months ago
Ahh, a name we're all familiar with whether we know it or not.

Who is this (I'm assuming) legend?
by Ecstatic-Employee10 months ago
And to think, if his parents named him Josh instead...... Would we be living in Joshland?
by Anonymous10 months ago
Josh is short for Joshua meaning "God is deliverance" so we are lucky it's not named somewhat after him. But almost every state/country is named after a person/persons when you break it down
by Anonymous10 months ago
In some countries of LATAM and in Spain, you can find many streets named after him
by Anonymous10 months ago
Maybe because he was a slave trader. He didn't name the continents. A German cartographer used the name on his charts, and it was picked up through popular usage.
by Anonymous10 months ago
Wait... so America is America cause some dude wrote his name on a map; which another dude just said "meh", and named the continent that on his map?
by Ok_Flamingo_859410 months ago
Correct. That's history for you, much more incidental than most people realize.
by Glad_Football594310 months ago
WWI (and possibly WWII, the much acclaimed sequel) could have been prevented if the Archduke's driver hadn't taken a wrong turn.
by Anonymous10 months ago
It's not that incidental
by Anonymous10 months ago
I learned about him in school.
by danikapowlowski10 months ago
I do. People aren't that interested most of the time.
by Anonymous10 months ago
That's a nice Italian name.
by Murky_Set_884210 months ago
I mean what a stupid first name, right?
by Anonymous10 months ago
He was excellent at shuffleboard.
by Key-Sign-311010 months ago
They should have named his discovery Vespuccistan.

Wasn't she at The Oscars?

Except on The Vespucci Hour on Explorer FM Ameriiiigo, he got there first!
