== == From a man named Richard Ameryk a Welshman and wealthy Bristol merchant. It is interesting to note that in literature, Ameryk is also spelled Amerike, which was further Americanized into Merrick. Amerigo Vespucci is incorrect, he having never reached North America and all early maps being British.
Nor did he ever use the term "America" the reason being that countries or continents were named using the second name. e.g. Cook Islands, Tasmania etc.
