What Vespucciland?, Amerika as in Richard Americk
Had a whole continent named after him, America!
He was wholly Welsh , surname Ap Meurig. In 1491 He was working as the
senior customs official in Bristol and regularly sent supplies to ships
in the fishing grounds off Newfoundland. In 1497 he authorised John
Cabot to search for the new land.

Oh right. I remember him.

He was the second cousin to Donald Zurley, famous crafter of lanterns in
the late 18 century, immortalized by Francis Scott Key in the Star
Spangled Banner.
