Abstract
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.Nueva Revista de Filología Hispánica (1947-), volume 66, 2, July-December 2018, is a semi-annual publication edited by El Colegio de México, Carretera Picacho Ajusco 20, Ampliación Fuentes del Pedregal, Tlalpan, C.P. 14110, Mexico City, Mexico, Tel.
