A whole bunch of names. There were hundreds of Indian tribes with different languages all over North and South America. They had different names for different parts, and as many of the tribes were nomadic, moving every few months, one month it was TribeA living there calling it LandA, A month later it is TribeB calling it LandB. So no one answer.
But if you look at the history of the area you live, you will probably find places and cities with Indian names that were carried over in English. That is about as close you will get to a native name for America.

There was no one word for America because there was no defined country or region. Each tribe had a name, but there were many tribes in the Americas. Sorry if this isn't much help.

"The Land." Sorry, I don't know what the term would be in any native languages, but the translation would roughly be, "the Land."

home. all right on a serious note, each tribe had a
different word, but in each language the word meant
either home or just the land.
