St. Croix was named by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage to the Americas in 1493. He originally called the island "Santa Cruz," which means "Holy Cross" in Spanish, reflecting the island's discovery on the feast day of the Holy Cross. Over time, the name evolved into St. Croix, which is the current designation in both English and Spanish. The island is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands and has a rich history influenced by various European colonizers.
