Antigua was originally called "Waladli" - a name from the Kalinago language meaning "Island of Fish Oil".
Barbuda also has an indigenous name: "Wa'omoni", meaning "Land of the Herons". This name comes from the Kalinago language as well and refers to the large number of herons inhabiting the island.
These historical names reflect the deep rooted connection of the islands with their original inhabitants and natural surrounding.
