From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Calque of French Amérique latine. Thought to be coined by French Emperor Napoleon III.
This term usually includes the French and French Creole areas in the Caribbean and South America, but does not include French-speaking North America. When used loosely, it includes all of Central America, South America and Caribbean (loose definition of Caribbean, except the Florida Keys), and Mexico. On the other hand, Ibero-America explicitly excludes French-speaking territories.
