Martin Waldseemüller was a German cartographer best known for creating the first map to use the name "America" in honor of Amerigo Vespucci. In 1507, he produced a world map that depicted the newly discovered continents and included the name "America" for the landmass of the New World. His work significantly influenced cartography and the European understanding of geography during the Age of Exploration. Waldseemüller's maps helped to popularize the idea of a separate New World, distinct from Asia.
