Ferdinand Magellan named the region "Patagonia" during his expedition in the early 16th century, deriving the name from the Spanish word "patagón," which he used to describe the indigenous people he encountered there. He believed they were of giant stature, partly due to their large footprints, which led him to think of them as "patagones" or "giants." The name eventually came to represent the entire region known today as Patagonia, known for its vast landscapes and diverse ecosystems.

Magellan was Portuguese. He sailed west to find a new trading route to Asia and the spice Islands. He could not get permission from the Portuguese King, so he changed nationality and persuaded the King of Spain to give him permission to sail. The Portuguese King did not like Magellan, and did not believe that the world was round. - The King thought this expedition was a waste of money as it was "impossible".
