The naming of the Americas, or America, occurred shortly after Christopher Columbus’ voyage to the Americas in 1492. It is generally accepted that the name derives from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer, who explored the new continents in the following years.
However, the facts tell us that the name of America came from indigenous or “Moorish” roots. In this volume of the Journal of Moorish-American Ethnology, we present a collection of facts expounding on the Moorish presence in America from ancient times to the founding of the United States of America.
