The name "Cayman" is derived from the Spanish word "caimán," which refers to a type of crocodile. This name was given by Christopher Columbus during his voyage in 1503 when he encountered the islands and noted the large number of reptiles present. Over time, the name evolved into "Cayman Islands," which now identifies the British Overseas Territory known for its stunning beaches and vibrant marine life.
