Where it comes from
Name taken from the Falkland Sound, which was named for Viscount Falkland by John Strong, who landed on the islands in 1690.
proper noun the Falkland Islands · Falkland Island
-
An archipelago and overseas territory of the United Kingdom, located in the South Atlantic.
No trees have grown on the windswept Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean for tens of thousands of years — just shrubs and other low-lying vegetation. That’s why a recent arboreal discovery nearly 20 feet (6 meters) beneath the ground caught researchers’ attention.
Similar: Falklands, Malvinas, Falkland Islands, Malouines
