- antidoh 14y agoAmerica is the widely used casual name for the United States of America. Context matters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America "America usually refers to either: "The Americas, a landmass comprising North America and South America "The United States of America, a country in North America"
