What did they call the continent America (new world) until they realise it’s a new continent?

by artoomuslu

Hi, I know Columbus thought it’s India that he landed. But this must be the initial thought since it’s nothing like India. And if I am not wrong it’s America Vespucci who first said that it’s a new continent and he was the one named these lands as “new world”. But what did the rest of the world called these non-Indian new lands until they realise it’s a new continental? Thanks.
