The old name of Sentosa was Pulau Blakang Mati, which translates to "Island of Death from Behind." This name was derived from the island's historical significance as a fortification and its association with naval battles. In the 1970s, the island was renamed Sentosa, meaning "peace and tranquility" in Malay, as part of a transformation into a resort destination.
