Why is British Isles called British Isles?
Because the archipelago standing of the north-west coast of Europe is entirely dominated by the island of Great Britain, the largest and most populous island in the archipelago. This is a normal naming convention used elsewhere, such as the Hawaiian islands and the Greek islands. That said, the name does prompt some controversy from those who object to the "British" title on grounds of the historical belligerence primarily of England. *** THE ISLANDS OF THE ARCHIPELIGO WERE SO NAMED IN THE 19TH CENTURY AT A TIME WHEN THE UNITED KINGDOM WAS MADE UP OF IRELAND, GREAT BRITAIN AND THE VARIOUS SMALLER ISLANDS. AS A MODERN TERM IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO IRISH PEOPLE AS IT INFERS THAT IRELAND IS A 'BRITISH' ISLE AND WOULD BE BETTER DISPLACED BY A MORE APOLITICAL WORD ( E.G. the Celtic Isles, or the Atlantic Isles, or the British and Irish Isles or .......). IT OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR PERSONS WHO CONSIDER THEMSELVES BRITISH BUT IS AN ANACHRONISM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED.
