Juan de Bermúdez (/bɜːrˈmjuːdɛz/; Spanish: [beɾˈmuðeθ]; d. 1570) was a Spanish navigator of the 16th century.
In 1505, while sailing back to Spain from a provisioning voyage to Hispaniola in the ship La Garça (or Garza), he discovered Bermuda, which was later named after him.[1] Legatio Babylonica, published in 1511 by Peter Martyr d'Anghiera, lists "La Bermuda" among the Atlantic islands. In 1515 he returned to Bermuda, landing a dozen pigs and sows for any unlucky mariners who might later be castaway there.[1]
Bermúdez made 11 registered trips to the New World from 1495 to 1519.[2]
