It were the portuguese. :-D They named it january because it was discovered january 1st 1502... so, it almost was Rio of February... There was a time when the French stablished a brief colony and renamed part of it Villegagnon but hey, who could fight the portuguese and the brazilian indians in 1502... no one, so it soon became january river again.
