the traditional theory of the naming of america is that it was named in honour of amerigo vespucci, an italian navigator. at the turn of the sixteenth century, vespucci undertook a series of voyages (the number of which remains unresolved) in search of a western passage to the indies. after the voyage of 1501–1502, he proposed that the areas that he and, separately, christopher columbus had explored were not part of asia, but rather a new world. america first received its name in the "cosmographiae introductio", published by cartographer martin waldseemüller in 1507. vespucci's published letters (the authenticity of which is contested) were the inspiration for that work, which was authored by a group of scholars in saint-dié, lorraine, france. they revised ptolemy's "geography" to include the new world and reasoned that, as the three previously known continents, europe, asia, and africa, had feminine names, so should the new world. accordingly, the feminised version of the latin form of the baptismal name of the "discoverer" of the new world, vespucci, was utilised. the appendix of the book included waldseemüller's map of the world in which the new world was labelled "america." the map, rediscovered in a german castle in 1901, was the first to use the name america and the first to depict a western hemisphere. the library of congress purchased the 1507 waldseemüller map in 2003. on 30 april 2007, german chancellor angela merkel transferred the map, also known as america's "birth certificate," to the people of the united states in a ceremony at the library of congress.
