The name America is derived from the name of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. An early map maker named the land mass that is present-day South America, "America" in honor of the explorer. The United States of America is named as part of the Americas and is not named after the explorer, per se. The first reference of America can be found in the Declaration of Independence which reads in part, the "unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America" adopted by the "Representatives of the united States of America" on July 4, 1776.
