Who first named it   Atlantic or the other names? 

 Or Gulf of Mexico why not golf of Florida? 

You can't be serious?  Florida was a Spanish possession and not even a US territory until the early 1820s.  FLA was admitted to Union over 20 years later in 1845.

 

Mexico/Gulf predates "discovery" of Florida by about 20 years.

First reference to Atlantic Ocean comes from a 6th century BC Greek, named Stesichorus. 

 

Almost all the underpinnings of Western society stem from Greece, and then usually perfected/furthered/bettered by the Romans.

 

With some exceptions, of course.
