Spain initially referred to the New World as "the Indies," believing they had reached the outskirts of Asia, particularly the Indian subcontinent, when Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. This misnomer stemmed from their goal of finding a westward route to Asia for trade. The term "New World" eventually came into use as the understanding of the Americas as a distinct continent evolved.
