Right now many historians are not sure. A recent theory is that his name was either stolen from a man named Columbus or he made it up. The new theory points out that he was Spanish and not Italian, he wrote in Spanish, and he was married to a Noble Spanish woman. This theory also goes on to point out that it was possible that his family were politically against the King and the Queen and to get the funds for his trip he took on the persona of Columbus. When I read about this theory it made sense to me because a man who is a high noble would write in Spanish and be married to a woman of the same level. A man of a lower level wouldn't have these things. To determine he was Spanish they have taken bone fragments of his son and are doing DNA testing.
