Best Answer

Cristobal Colon is the Spanish name for the person we refer to in English as Christopher Columbus. As to what he is famous for, well, in loose terms he 'discovered' America although I think it is pretty well agreed that he was hardly the first from Europe to land there and make a contribution. I think his accomplishment was to cross the Atlantic and report back to a wider audience than previous travellers had done.
