Malouin (masc.), malouine (fem.) is the noun and adjective for someone from, or something related to, the town of Saint-Malo, a French port in Brittany. An "île" (old spelling "isle") is an island.

The Iles Malouines are a group of island, which was given its French name after the first permanent settlers on the islands, as the settlers and local seamen were from Saint-Malo.They are known to the Argentines as the Islas Malvinas, and to the British under the name Falkland Islands.
