Before it was discovered, the US, and America as a whole, had no collective name - because it was not known to the Europeans. The natives did not bother with a name for America because they were more concerned with their territory and the lands claimed by neighboring peoples than with mapping the continent.
Amerigo Vespucci discovered that Asia was not a part of America. America was named after him.
Amerigo Vespucci. He discovered this around 1499-1500. Notice the resemblence of his first name to "America". He is also thought to be the stem of the name of our country.
