[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Venezuela's name comes from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci. When Spanish colonizers arrived in the region in the 16th century, they named it "Venezuela" as a tribute to Vespucci. "Vene" refers to Venice, Vespucci's birthplace, and "zuela" means "little Venice" in Spanish, reflecting the region's landscape of lakes and waterways.
