The name "America" is derived from the Latin version of the name of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. His voyages to the New World in the late 15th and early 16th centuries led to the recognition that the lands discovered by Europeans were part of a separate continent, distinct from Asia. Although the name does not directly reference Native Americans, it reflects the European perspective on the new lands they encountered.
