Amorica was originally a fabled continent in ancient
Briton tribes living there. Only Scotland was named Amorica then[citation needed]. The name faded when the Scots renamed it Scotland. America may have been named after the fabled continent of Greek myth, rather than after Amerigo Vespucci
.
Reinforcing a common misconception, The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook Second Edition (Writer's Digest Books, 2005) misdefines Armorica as the ancient name for Britain, mistaking Britain for Brittany.
