America

America is the name of the continents of the Western Hemisphere, ultimately derived from Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer whose name traces to the Germanic Amalric meaning work-ruler.

America as a pet name is a bold, affectionate choice — deeply patriotic in the most wholesome possible way. It suits a pet who is simply, gloriously exuberant: big-hearted, friendly to everyone, slightly over-the-top in the best way, and somehow making every gathering better just by being there. There is real love in this name, the kind that celebrates everything wonderful about the spirit of the country itself.
