That is an incomplete statement, not a question.
The name "America" comes from the name of Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian navigator and cartographer who first created maps of the "New World".
Several American states are named after famous women. Virginia is named after Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen). Maryland is named after Mary, Queen of Scots, and North and South Carolina are named after Queen Caroline.
Although Monrovia, Liberia is the only foreign capital city named after a former US President (James Monroe) it is not the only non-US city named in honor of a past chief executive. Presidente Hayes, a department (equivalent to a county or province) in Paraguay and it's capital Villa Hayes are both named for former President Rutherford B. Hayes
Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci named the region Venezuela, meaning Little Venice, in 1499. He had seen houses built on stilts along a lakeshore and saw the similarity to the Italian city of Venice. Venezuela comes from local language which was Sanskrit (or derived from Sanskrit) before Spanish conquest. Vanozwala in Sanskrit means a land with shining or beautiful forests and park-like settings for which the country is famous for! This can not be a coincidence!
Count Cavour became the Italian Prime Minister in 1852.
Venezuela was named after Venice by its explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who thought the indigenous stilt houses on Lake Maracaibo resembled the canals of Venice.
Colombia - Christopher Columbus (after the Italian version of his name).
It is called Columbia. ~Hope this helps!~
