The continent is North America, named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci's name became associated with the newly discovered landmass through the work of the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in the early 16th century.
Martin Waldseemuller printed the first map that used the name America and it was named after him in 1507
The German mapmaker named the continent after the Latin term "Africanus" which refers to its Barbary Coast in North Africa.

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 .

Amergo Vespucci didn’t have the map maker name North America after him, but after reading Vespucci’s book that he had discovered North America he named the continent after him. Actually Vespucci lied in his book and never reached North America.
Since it is not called Vespucci, that would be America.
Amerigo Vespucci
That would be America.
