The first name for St. Kitts was "Liamuiga," which means "fertile island" in the Kalinago language, spoken by the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean. The island was later named St. Christopher by Christopher Columbus when he arrived in 1493, in honor of his patron saint. Over time, "St. Christopher" was often shortened to St. Kitts.
