The name "Bahamas" comes from the Spanish "baja mar," shallow seas. There are fifteen main islands in The Bahamas including Cat Island, Bimini, Eleuthera, Exuma, Grand Bahama and New Providence. Our word "hurricane" comes from the language of the original Indian inhabitants of the Bahamas, the Lucayans.

In the seas around the Bahamas, five percent of the world's coral is to be found. Coral reefs are important to the world's ecology because, like the rain forests, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The Bahamas has one of the world's oldest parliamentary democracies, celebrating 250 years in 1979. The government of the Bahamas is modeled on the British system. The first Royal Governor of the Bahamas, Woodes Rogers, was a former pirate and privateer. The motto of the Bahamas is "Pirates expelled, Commerce restored." Queen Elizabeth II has visited the Bahamas on several occasions. Other members of the royal family have spent time in the Bahamas including Princess Margaret.
