He was an Italian businessman and cartographer who explored the east coast of South America and the Caribbean. He was the first person to draw a map of the new continent. His name is written in Latin: americus vespucius. Because the names used in other continents are all negative Latin. Therefore, Americus has become a feminine Latin word: America.
