I hate to break it to you, but the name America as it was chosen by Europeans was meant to be the name of the continent.

The name USA was chosen by unitedstatesians when creating the country. A stupid mistake. Everyone else managed to pick a name, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina.... but not the USA.
