MEANING OF AMERICA.
Its Probable Signification Said to

Its Probable Signification said to b<
'strong For Labor"
The meaning of the name Amerigo
has often been discussed, the only thing
certain being that it is one of those
names of Teutonic origin, like Hum.
berto, Alfonzo, Grimaldo or Garibaldi.
so common in Northern Italy, which
testify to the Gothic or Lombard con-
quest. Americ, which occurs as early
as 744 A. D., is probably contracted
form of the name Amalaric, borne by
a King of the Visigoths, who died in
5Sl. A Bishop Emriek was present at
the council of Salisbury in S07, and an
Americas Balistarius is mentioned in
the Close rolls (thirteenth century,.
1t has been conjectured that the stem
is i'm, from which we get the name oil
Emma. Themeaning of this is not known
with certainty. though Ferguson think.
il NAV denote 'strife" or 'noise. "
Since, however the name is probably
of Gothic origin, and since the Anna
lungs were the royal race of the Ostro-
goths, it is more likely that the stem is
ANAL, which was formerly thought to
mean without spot" but is now more
plausibly connected with the old Morse
ami. .'labor," work" The suffix ric,
cornate with rex, reich. and rick,
means 'rich' or powerful, and
therefore the most probable signidca.
ton of Amerigo is .'strong for labor.

picture was much improved. The story
got wind. and the picture was after
