San Salvador was the name Christopher Columbus gave the island he landed on in the Bahamas. The island is now known as Guanahani.
Columbus thought he was in India, and in his way to Asia, the land he founded was the island of Hispaniola, what we now know as Haiti, and Dominican Republic.
Columbus called the Caribbean 'the new world' because he thought he'd discovered a new island, and built a city on it. but actually the native Americans were their first.
The first person to call Native Americans "Indians" was probably Christopher Columbus or a member of his crew. Remember that for some years after Columbus' landings in the Caribbean, He and the Europeans who followed him thought they had reached "the Indies" ( the region we now call "east Asia")
