You spelled it wrong both times.
The correct spelling of his name is
And yes, the first letter of his actual name is the Arabic letter Qaf which corresponds to Phoenician Qoph and English Q
Interesting, isn't it?
Actually, America was named after the mapmaker who drew the first maps of the place, David Merrick.
However, when he sailed with the Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto, he used his birth spelling in Welsh which was Dafydd ap Meric on the maps that he drew.
It makes interesting reading to read the Wikipedia article on this explorer, who is now known as John Cabot since he sailed on a commission from the English king. The merchants of Bristol, England said that someone from the city had earlier found the island of Brazil, possibly in 1470, and brought back Brazilwood which made an excellent dye. But they couldn't find their way back. Maybe that is why Caboto took a local mapmaker along with him.
It is not hard to imagine that someone mapping a new land might have put all their effort into drawing the shape of the coast, islands, currents, and not bothered naming anything. So if the only things written on the map were
New Found Land
and
ApMeric
It is not hard to see how people called the map, 'A Map Of Apmeric's But wait, in Bristol a lot of people spoke Welsh so they would have written
Map y ApMeric
On their copies. Not hard to see how that became AbMerica in Latin but Latin speakers no that Ab would elide to A in front of M so…
America.
After that folks would have worried more about names for bays. headlands, rivers and islands, so years could have passed before anyone considered what the whole darn place was called. At that time, discussing this in the pub, half the people were certain that America was the name of the place, the rest that it was the mapmakers name or the explorer or maybe the ship that first discovered the place.
Truth be told, We should be living in North Brazil and South Brazil, but that British mapmaker foiled us all.

No, a Golem is a human being who has had mind control techniques applied to them to compartmentalize their consciousness and create alters that are controlled by the master and which can be triggered (turned on and off) by the master.
Medieval Jews were restricted in what they could do. They could not work on the Sabbath. They could not do certain types of work. They had to be back in the ghetto by nightfall and stay there.
However, if they took a young gentile lad, drugged him and turned him into a Golem, he would willingly work for them doing the things they could not, such are running errands in neighborhoods where Jews were not welcome, or doing things at nighttime that their master wished to be done outside the ghetto.
Some people see evidence of mind control techniques in Sumerian wall carvings of the rulers and their subjects.
There is magic involved in creating a Golem all right, but it is psychological magic. In the modern day, the CIA studied all of these ancient techniques and simplified them into MKUltra and Monarch.
Others have done work to create modified mind control techniques that people can use on themselves, without drugs, to create compartmentalized consciousness and create alters that can focus on certain types of tasks 100% like an Autist does naturally.

I enjoyed watching Wallander in Swedish, but I don't know why on earth we are all cursing at each other here.
One guy was offended.
Now the whole lot of us seem to be verrucht
Для меня это слишком много.
