The word "America" is derived from the Latin version of the name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. The German geographer Martin Waldseemüller was the first to use the name in reference to the New World in his 1507 map. Since Vespucci was one of the first to propose that the newly discovered lands were part of a separate continent, the name America was chosen to honor him.
