The name was derived from the Latinized <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin>version of the explorer Amerigo Vespucci <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amerigo_Vespucci>'s name, *Americus Vespucius*, in its feminine form, *America*, as the other continents all have Latin feminine names. Wikipedia and a memory for things historical. Have a good 4th. Bruce Reeves Nortex Networks
