The Bailiwick of Jersey, the British Crown dependency, 12 miles off the north coast of Normandy France which gave the American State of New Jersey it's name, is in a branch of the Atlantic Ocean known as the English Channel (or La Manche in French). This gives Jersey and it's neighbor Guernsey the name 'the Channel Islands'.
