America? Hmm. Did not know about "-ica"="land". It makes sense. It would translate as "land of Amerigo" (after Amerigo Vespucci, who was the one that first stated that America was a different continent, opposed to Cristopher Columbus (or Cristóbal Colón, as we call him in Spain) who thought he had arrived to Asia).
