Pre-Columbia refers to the period and cultures that existed in the Americas before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492. This term encompasses a vast array of indigenous societies across North, Central, and South America, including civilizations like the Maya, Aztec, and Inca. Geographically, it spans from the Arctic regions of North America down to the southern tip of South America, highlighting the rich diversity of cultures and histories present in the continent prior to European contact.
The term 'First Nations' refers to the groups of people that were native to Canada prior to the European settlements. The First Nations are also known as Indians (even more so in America), but it is an incorrect term that began being used after Columbus thought he arrived in India (rather than North America).
America is named after Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer and cartographer who is credited as being the first cartographer to make a map of the Americas as not being part of Asia, but being a stand alone Landmass. Specifically America is the feminized Latin version of the name Amerigo.

What is now Latin America has been populated for several millennia, possibly for as long as 30,000 years, so it is difficult to name a specific "first civilization of Latin America". The ancient Olmec Civilization is considered to be one of the earliest civilizations in Mesoamerica. They developed around 1200 BC in the southern Gulf Coast area of Mexico. The Zapotec civilization developed around 700 BC in the Valley of Oaxaca in Mesoamerica. The Mayas, the Incas, and the Aztecs existed in Latin America before the arrival of Europeans.
