According to a book by Ilary Augustus, published in April 2021 ("Krzysztof Columbus: Buried deep in Latin by the Indian origin of the large explorer from Genoa"), the words Columbus, Columbus, and Columbus appear for the first time in a notarial act (a lease agreement) of a Mousso in Genoa in 1329 AD.
These terms happen in the form of a toponym. The author then shows, utilizing the Latin text of respective another notarial acts and papers concerning the past of the Church, how Christopher Columbus – besides wearing the same toponym – was part of the Mousso family, the Indian line (though he was born in Genoa).
