Hi, does the word for American exsist in Latin?
America was named after the the Italian map maker Amerigo Vespuci. He named it Amerigus Vespucius.

Americana if modifying a feminine noun, Americanus if modifying a masculine noun.
Simple substitution could guide you in its use:
Pax Romana means the Roman Peace (the peace imposed by the Roman Empire). Simple substitution would result in Pax Americana.
Civis romanus sum means i am a Roman citizen. Simple substitution would produce civis americanus sum.
try "columbia"
Thats latin america isnt it?
I kill myself sometimes.
Somebody should kill ya, DP . . .
I will try to "keep it simple stupid" just for you set.
