It says here ..

'The Amazon was invented (but not under this name) in the middle ages'.

So, where is this info from, do we know the name of it when it was invented.

Also, it appears with the list of games from earliest on record here, first game mentioned is 'Amazon Chess' from Middle Ages, and it is called an 'Amazon'.

Anyways, just wondering if we know the first name given to it.
