Rhode Islandn.

Brit.

/ˌrəʊd ˈʌɪlənd/, U.S.

/ˌroʊd ˈaɪlənd/

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Rhode Island.

Etymology: < Rhode Island (in full, The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations), the name of a state in the north-eastern United States; earlier the name of Aquidneck Island in Narragansett Bay, part of the modern state. The name of the island appears in English in a variety of forms in the 17th cent., e.g. Rode-Island (1637), Rhose Island (1642), Isle of Rhodes, or Rhode Island (1644); compare also Read-Iland (1644). The origin of the name is uncertain. It may perhaps shows an anglicized form of Dutch Roodt Eylandt, lit. ‘Red Island’, although early evidence for this is lacking (compare the reference to a reddish island in the description of Adriaen Block's 1614 voyage of exploration in J. de Laet Nieuwe Wereldt (1625) III. viii. 85). It is uncertain whether there is any connection with the earlier likening of Block Island (a different island in the Atlantic Ocean forming part of the state of Rhode Island) to the Mediterranean island of Rhodes by the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano c1524.Earlier forms of the English place name are reflected by early forms at Rhode Islander n.

The name of the island appears in English in a variety of forms in the 17th cent., e.g. Rode-Island (1637), Rhose Island (1642), Isle of Rhodes, or Rhode Island (1644); compare also Read-Iland (1644). The origin of the name is uncertain. It may perhaps shows an anglicized form of Dutch Roodt Eylandt, lit. ‘Red Island’, although early evidence for this is lacking (compare the reference to a reddish island in the description of Adriaen Block's 1614 voyage of exploration in J. de Laet Nieuwe Wereldt (1625) III. viii. 85). It is uncertain whether there is any connection with the earlier likening of Block Island (a different island in the Atlantic Ocean forming part of the state of Rhode Island) to the Mediterranean island of Rhodes by the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano c1524.Earlier forms of the English place name are reflected by early forms at Rhode Islander n.
