Often islands were inhabited by isolated groups of people that used less known languages. They didn't use English, so the names for their islands might sound strange to us. e.g. "Hawaii"
Islands can have unusual names due to their unique geography, history, or local culture. Some may be named after a feature of the island, a historical event, a local legend, or even a wildlife species found there. These factors can contribute to the diversity and sometimes eccentricity of island names.
Some of the main islands in the Mariana Islands include Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. There are also smaller islands and islets in the archipelago.
The three divisions of the Pacific Islands are Micronesia (small islands), Melanesia (black islands), and Polynesia (many islands). These divisions are based on geographic, cultural, and historical differences among the islands.
The Danish islands northeast of the Shetland Island are the Faroe Islands.
Bahrain and Cyprus are two islands in the Middle East region.
