That would be for North America,
but I disagree considering where the name America likely came from,
not Albericus Vespucci, but from a Mayan mountainous region named Amerrisque,
“land where the wind blows constantly” and perhaps combined with the Spanish word “rica/rich”,
because those mountains were rich with gold at that time.
And I think that name is more fitting than ‘Turtle Island’ to be honest.
North America has a lot of hurricanes and tornadoes.
And it’s rich with resources.

South America needs a rename though.
It is perhaps descriptive, but America is a name that comes from colonizers. We should honor indigenous peoples by using their name for the continent.
Regarding south america, I wouldnt know what to call it.
Would the Mayans agree?
Mayans lived in South America. Here Im speaking about [North America]/ Turtle Island.
Hate to be the akshually guy for such an easy fact, but Maya lived and still live in North America
Ah, my bad.
I dont know what mayans would think about that. What do you think they would think about that?
