America is named after the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. His voyages to the New World in the late 15th and early 16th centuries contributed to the understanding that the newly discovered lands were part of a separate continent, distinct from Asia. The name "America" was first used in a map published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller, who honored Vespucci's contributions to geography.
