Bermuda

Bermuda
Bermuda Atlantic island, named for Spanish explorer Juan de Bermudez (d.1570), who discovered it c.1515. Bermuda shorts first attested 1953 (in "The Long Goodbye" by Raymond Chandler), from the type of garb worn by U.S. tourists there. Bermuda triangle is attested from 1964. As the adjective form, Bermudian (1777) holds seniority over Bermudan (1895).
