Not exactly. IIRC, North and South America are named after the person who correctly deduced that the lands to the west were not Asia. Columbus thought he'd reached Asia.

Amerigo Vespucci, IIRC.
Columbus disagreed with him, made couple of other trips, failed to get €€€bigjuros€€€,
and died lone, desperate, and out of cash.

the real question is who did they ask, if they went to the slums in America and a college campus in Sweden then that is little card stacking i think. They might say its random but maybe they just wanted a story.
