America was named after explorer Amerigo Vespucci, by the way.

Made ya look. ;)

A Dictionary of First Names by Hanks and Hodges (OUP, 1988) says it's "an early byform of Enrico (Henry)... found in Italian sources from c.1100 ... probably introduced into Italy by the Ostrogoths some six centuries earlier; they controlled Italy from 493 to 552, and the name does not seem to have been in use among the Lombards who succeeded them".

Amerigo comes from the German name Heimric, from haim, "home", and ric, "power".
