Trivia: What Caribbean island is the world’s only country named after a woman?
Grenada
Saint Lucia
Saint Kitts
Haiti
The correct answer is Saint Lucia
So why is this answer correct? : Saint Lucia is named after Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a Christian martyr who died in 304 CE. Legend has it that a group of French sailors were shipwrecked near the mountainous island on December 13, 1502, which is the annual Feast Day for Saint Lucy, so they named their landing place after her.
