The Word in Genesis 10 (the Table of Nations) states that the Amorites were Canaanites (progeny of Ham), some of whom sailed to the western hemisphere having become known as the Amuraca, for whom was named America by the spanish explorers who encountered them (over three thousand years after the Amorites had arrived), unless you want to believe that America was named for a relatively obscure medieval navigator’s first name Amerigo who was among those aware of the Amuraca.
