Oceans are named based on geographical, historical, and cultural factors. For example, the Atlantic Ocean is named after the mythological island of Atlantis, while the Pacific Ocean derives its name from the Latin word "pacificus," meaning peaceful, reflecting Ferdinand Magellan's experience upon encountering it. Other names may reflect local customs, prominent figures, or the ocean's location relative to landmasses. These names often carry historical significance and reflect the relationships between human societies and the sea.
