Hmm. I read the Templar story. Merica.
Emmerich is also just an old-fashioned German name. I would assume that the name Amerigo is derived from the name Emmerich, not the town Emmerich.
Why would it be named after an obscure city?
It's not named after the city, it's named after the guy who was named after the obscure city
