Etymology
The Carolinian Islands are named after King Charles of Estmere, who reigned during the conquest of the islands and named the colonial possession after himself. The native name "Tuarikai" comes from the Carolinian words for "gold" (tuari) and "island" (kai), the gold referring to the hot, equatorial sun under which the islands are situated.
