When Christopher Columbus finally discovered land on his first voyage in 1492, he named the island he encountered San Salvador. While the exact island he landed on is debated, it is generally believed to be part of the Bahamas. Columbus named it in honor of the Holy Savior, reflecting his religious beliefs and the significance of the moment.
