专有名词

英文释义

专有名词
  1. An island of the United States Virgin Islands.

词源

Named after the former Kingdom of Loango. The island was used as a holding location for slaves transported from Africa. Compare Congo Cay.
An erroneous local legend holds that the toponym derives from "love-and-go" and refers to a former brothel on the island. This folk etymology arose because of the insertion of a v into the toponym.
