The name "Canary Islands" originates from the Latin term "Insula Canaria," which means "Island of the Dogs." This name was used by the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder, who described the islands in his writings. The term referred to the large dogs that were found on the islands, rather than the birds we associate with the name today. Over time, the name evolved to what we now know as the Canary Islands.
