It was abused by the French and doesn’t really describe Spanish America, however, it was first used by a Chilean (I think it was Bilbao) and is widely used now to refer to South America and Central America (note that this name is a bit ambiguous as well).

(That’s just a term the French invented to make it look like they had business in Hispanic America, and makes me very sad inside).
