A number of places, mostly in the Western Hemisphere, have been named after the Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus, who was the first European to make the "New World" widely known to Europeans. Also, like "America" (a derivation from another explorer's name) the derivation "Columbia" became associated with the New World or Americas in general.
