Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer and navigator who played a key role in the early exploration of the New World. He is best known for demonstrating that the lands discovered by Christopher Columbus were part of a separate continent, which he referred to as the "New World." His voyages along the coasts of South America and Central America helped to clarify the geography of the region. The name "America" is derived from his first name, honoring his contributions to the understanding of the continent.
