The cartographer who named the New World was Martin Waldseemüller. He named it "America" in honor of Amerigo Vespucci, who was an early explorer of the region.
Amerigo Vespucci had two continents, North America and South America, named after him. Although he did not discover these continents, his name was used by cartographers in the early 16th century in their maps.
A German map maker named the continent after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer who made several voyages to the Americas.
North America was named after Amerigo Vespucci (not the other way around). He wrote a book claiming he had discovered North America ( this has been proven to be a lie), but a German mapmaker believed him when naming North America .
Christopher Columbus wrote about his voyages to the new continent in his journal.
