How did the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua get the name the mosquito coast?

The Caribbean coast of Nicaragua got the name "Mosquito Coast" from the Miskito people, an indigenous group that inhabits the region. The term "Mosquito" is derived from the Miskito name for themselves, and European explorers and colonizers adopted it during the 17th and 18th centuries. The area was historically significant for its trade routes and interactions between indigenous populations and European powers, particularly the British, who referred to the region as the Mosquito Coast in their colonial records.
