Do you know who Rio de Janeiro has this name for?

Sent by King D. Manuel I to explore and map the coastline of Terra de Santa Cruz,

an expedition commanded by Gaspar de Lemos, with Américo Vespúcio on board, arrived at Guanabara Bay on January 1, 1502.

Some specifications state that navigators believe they have received a large river, after they have arisen or named.

Other statements say that it would be impossible for sailors to have confused the names of the places,

and that in fact, at the time, there is still no distinction between a nomenclature of rivers, bays and sacks.

But anyway, because it is a river and was found in January, Américo Vespúcio named it as the place of Rio de Janeiro.
