AMERIQUE/AMAERRISQUE "land of perpetual or strong winds" in the Chontale Maya province in the Chontales Province in modern day Nicaragua.
in 1507, two cartographers named Ringmann and Walseemuller published it in their book as the name given by Vespucci. in my own research, i have found at least half a dozen other towns starting with "AMERI"- it's older than you think...
