    Webster's 1913 edition had "Etym: [Named from Americus Vespucius.]" in it. Sure, but what's that name mean? Per https://www.etymonline.com/word/America#etymonline_v_10975 , it's kind of interesting:

    > Amerigo is Germanic, said to derive from Gothic Amalrich, literally "work-ruler."

    "Work-ruler". :terrythinking: "Negotium populo americano melius quam otium committi."

    > The Old English form of the name has come down as surnames Emmerich, Emery, etc. The Italian fem. form merged into Amelia.
