The Bermuda triangle got its name from where it borders as it borders Miami, Florida - San Juan, Puerto Rico and Bermuda.

Answer:

The first use of the term was in a 1964 article about seemingly unusual disappearances in the area that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines.

These two books were the source for the popular terms. These publications were based on speculation, not science.
