Patagonia comes from the word Patagon, which, though heavily debated, is believed to mean “Big feet”, in reference to a Giant Indian Tribe that was supposidly encountered by magellan and other Europeans. They where probably exaggerated encounters with the Tehuelches (Indians which averaged about 6 feet tall, still gigantic to Europeans a little over 5 feet tall). Also probably inspired as well by giant Dinosaur fossils, which are abundant in Patagonia (Argentinosaurus, 100 ton dinosaur, for example, was found there)
