The Caribbean islands derived their name from the Carib people, an indigenous group that inhabited parts of the region at the time of European exploration in the late 15th century. Christopher Columbus and other explorers referred to the islands collectively as "Caribbean" after encountering the Caribs during their voyages. The term has since come to represent the entire group of islands in the Caribbean Sea.
