An Italian navigator and explorer for whom South America and North America are named, was born on March 9, 1454, Florence, Italy. In 1495 he took over the business of a merchant in Seville, Spain, who had furnished supplies to ships voyaging to the West Indies. Vespucci later set out for the New World himself and left accounts and maps of four voyages. In 1499 and 1500, during an expedition led by Alonso de Ojeda, a Spanish soldier, Vespucci explored a large part of the northern coast of South America. Most also believe that he might have explored part of that continent's eastern coast on a subsequent voyage. Martin Waldseemuller, in 1507 a German cartographer and geographer translated Vespucci's narrative, was the first to use America, an adaptation of the explorer's given name of Amerigo, as a name for the southern continent.
He died on February 22, 1512, in Seville, Spain.
