"America" meaning in Latin

See America in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /a.meˈriː.ka/ [Classical-Latin], [ämɛˈriːkä] [Classical-Latin], /aˈme.ri.ka/ [Classical-Latin], [äˈmɛrɪkä] [Classical-Latin], /a.meˈri.ka/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ämeˈriːkä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), /aˈme.ri.ka/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [äˈmɛːrikä] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Feminine form of Americus, the Latinized form of the forename of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512). Amerigo is the Italian form of a Germanic personal name (see Emmerich). First recorded in 1507 (together with the related term Amerigen) in the Cosmographiae Introductio, apparently written by Matthias Ringmann, in reference to South America; first applied to both North and South America by Mercator in 1538. Amerigen means "land of Amerigo" and derives from Amerigo and gen, the accusative case of Greek gē "earth". America accorded with the feminine names of Asia, Africa, and Europa.
