He went on four voyages.

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand were Amerigo Vespucci's main patrons, but he also sailed with assistance from Portugal. After moving to Spain in 1492, Vespucci began taking jobs on ships and seven years later went on his first voyage. His voyages took him to what is now modern day Brazil and Argentina.

King Ferdinand named Amerigo Vespucci the Chief Navigator of Spain. Amerigo Vespucci had the responsibility of planning the navigation for the voyages to the Indes.

Amerigo Vespucci is believed to have died on February 22, 1512 of malaria. He was an Italian explorer, navigator and cartographer, whose name the Americas derived from the feminized Latin version of his first name. His name was given to North and South America because he was the first to recognize that it wasn't part of Asia. This led the mapmaker, Martin Waldseemuller, to consider him instead of Columbus, as the man who discovered America.

The book's given explanation simply states that "Amerigo" would be the Italian name, and "Americus" is the Latinized version of the same name.

I have also seen another account of the changed name attributed to being his grandfather's name.

My early school recollection of 40 years ago is how fortunate we are to be known for his "first" name as opposed to the family name. Imagine, North and South Vespucci, or the Vespuccian continent........The United States of Vespucci?

It could have been!

Amerigo took the slaves for 1 to prove to people he had. 2. Because people did that often back then. 3. Because my guess for this one is he simply wanted to.

Amerigo Vespucci (spelled Americus Vespucci in Latin) was an Italian navigator who made four voyages to the Americas between 1499 and 1502. Two accounts of his explorations and maps were published between 1502 and 1504, and a world map published in 1507 by cartographer Martin Waldseemuller named the new continent America in his honor.
