The account Of the origin of 9he
name America which says that il,
was deriyed from Amerigo Yes
pucci, q Florentine merchant, WHO
visited the newly discovered CONT
nent several years after Columbus
first voyage has been disputed on
the ground that. on his fourth yoy-
age. Columbus found Central
American tribe of natives bearing
the name of "Ameriques." and that
his associates designated the coun-
try by the name ef these Indians.
On the other hand the existence OF
these Ameriques has been doubted.
Recently, however, the descend-
ants Of the eancient Ameriques have
been found dwelling in Honduras,
and M. A. Pinart, a French ex.
plorer, has studied their language
and investigated their relations to
other native tribes. But. of course
the discovery of the existence OF
the. Ameriques does not prove that
the name Of America was derived
from them.
