Etymology

Feminine form of Latin Americus, Latinization of the name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (1454-1512). First recorded use is 1507.[1]

Amerigo is the Italian form of a Gothic personal name, Amalric "master workman", from amal "work" and ric "power".

The attribution to Amerigo is perhaps a forced etymology to an existing name; the gold-bearing Amerrique Mountains along the spine of Nicaragua are sometimes believed to be the ultimate source.
