[gothic-l] America - Almarich

[sunnytjatsingh]

Hi Francisc, 

"Ghaddafi, trying to demonstrate the superiority of the Arab culture, 
among other arguments, derived the name "America" from a certain Arab 
called "Emir Kah"! This is not far from Jat=Get=Goth."

Let's examine a fun-fact suggested by Kephart who claims that the 
Goths were PARTLY responsible for the name of America?

The name Amerigo showed up in Italian around the 12th Century and was 
introduced by the Goths in the 6th century – Amal.  Hence, the 
etymology
. Amalrich "work ruler" [German] – Amerigo [Italian] – 
America.    Therefore, it may be possible that America was named 
after Vespucci, an Italian, with a Gothic name?   

For a detailed explanation behind this name see Calvin Kephart.  
Regards,
