For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i read in a few books that i cant remember to reference and so subsequently hope some one backs me, that infact america wasn't named after vespucci, but that a monk at the time has erroneously said it was. he apparently apologised for it 14 years after stating this, but much like an apology in the sun, no body really noticed and so the myth has lasted for 500 odd years. i read some thing also about some ancient star called merica that was supposed to be to the west of babylon. some sumerian myth i think.
