Magellan did not coin the name "Pacific Ocean." The ocean was named by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan during his voyage in 1520 due to its calm and tranquil waters. The name "Pacific" comes from the Latin word "pacificus," meaning peaceful.
The Strait of Magellan, separating the South American mainland from Tierra del Fuego, was named after the famous Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan who was the first to navigate it in 1520.
The passage found near 50 degrees South of Strait of Magellan is named the Strait of All Saints
