Christopher Columbus renamed several islands during his voyages to the New World, including San Salvador (which he named after Jesus, the Savior) in the Bahamas. He also renamed Cuba, referring to it as Juana, after Prince Juan of Spain. Additionally, he named Hispaniola, which includes present-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic, La Española. These renamings reflected Columbus's desire to honor Spanish royalty and his own religious beliefs.
