How did Deer corn get the name "Maize", From Carpers??

Maize is derived from the spanish word for corn, maiz. Corn was a product of mesoamerica, which was comprised of southern Mexico and northern central America in the 14th century. When the Spanish colonization of this area occurred in the late 15th century maize was spread through out the world.

Corn, was an english word meaning cereal grains and basically became the preferred name for maize in the US, Canada and Australia.
