| Summary | "Nuevas investigaciones sobre el origen del nombre América" by Jules Marcou is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the etymology and history behind the name "América," exploring various theories and historical documents that contributed to its adoption. It particularly focuses on the indigenous name "Amerrique" from Nicaragua and the varying forms of Amerigo Vespucci's name, arguing for a deeper understanding of how the name came to symbolize the New World. The opening of the text introduces Marcou's exploration of the origins of the name America, asserting four key facts about its derivation. He explains that "Amerrique" refers to a mountain region in Nicaragua, provides insights on Vespucci's name variations, and points out the lack of historical documentation for the name prior to 1507. Marcou also mentions his previous contributions to this topic and anticipates addressing critiques and alternative views from historical scholars, setting the stage for a thorough investigation into the complex naming of the continent.
