    America was named after some Italian map-maker named Amerigo, which is an Italianization of the German name Emmerich, so "Emerican" really isn't that weird of a name, IMO.

      I honestly always thought his name was a reference to the skating brand "Emerica." His age puts him as a college student right at the height of the brand's popularity.
