Ferdinand Magellan
Magellan did not coin the name "Pacific Ocean." The ocean was named by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan during his voyage in 1520 due to its calm and tranquil waters. The name "Pacific" comes from the Latin word "pacificus," meaning peaceful.

Ferdinand Magellan had to deal with the Portuguese king doubting his loyalty. He had to deal with being wounded in Morocco. He had to deal with some of his men turning against him. He had to deal with the extreme cold of Tierra del Fuego and the heat of Brazil.
I think the Strait of Magellan
Pacific means peaceful or quiet. The Pacific Ocean was named by Ferdinand Magellan. It took him three months to sail through the peaceful calm waters, which was why he called it the Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific Ocean got its name from the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520. He called it "Mar Pacifico," which means "peaceful sea" in Spanish, because of its calm and tranquil waters.
Trecous waters
The name is derived from the Latin name Tepre Pacificum, 'peaceful sea', bestowed upon it by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan.Pacific means peaceful. Ferdinand Magellan named the Pacific Ocean 'pacific', after passing through the Straits of Magellan and around Cape Horn, because it seemed so calm and peaceful in comparison to the stormy waters he had just sailed through.
