Origin and meaning of Amerigo
Amerigo is a name of Germanic origin, traced to elements meaning 'industrious' and 'ruler,' hence the sense of 'industrious, rich and powerful sovereign.' The name is inseparable from the Florentine navigator Amerigo Vespucci, after whom the American continent is named. Used almost exclusively in Italy, it keeps a learned, Renaissance charm. With its broad, melodious sound, it evokes a spirit of adventure and discovery — an original choice of strong historical and cultural value.
