Americus, Georgia, got its name from the Latin version of America, "Americus," which was suggested by local landowner and postmaster John A. F. M. C. "Americus" to evoke a sense of American pride. The name was officially adopted when the town was incorporated in 1851. Its unique name reflects a connection to the broader themes of exploration and the emerging identity of the United States during that period.
