Sumario:The toponimum Patagonia comes from the generical denomination that Magallanes used to give names to the natives of an enlarge stature that hadinhabited the most southwest region of South America: patagones. We knowthat they were called by that name perhaps taking as a source the name ofthe chevallier character from the novel called Primaleon, previously printedto Magallanes trip. We present as a new hypothesis, that perhaps there mightexist a relation between the toponimum Patagonia and the region that inTroya times was denominated Paphlagonia, and at the moment a region inNorth Turkey, by the Black Sea.
