Nota de escopo:

Isla de las Antillas Menores en las Indias Occidentales. Se trata de una formación esencialmente coralina, con puertos no muy buenos y solo pequeños arroyos. Probablemente fue descubierta por los portugueses en el siglo XVI. Su nombre se lo pusieron los exploradores españoles en el siglo XVI a partir del termino barbados, el plural de "bearded", en referencia a las hojas en forma de barba o penachos de musgo en los arboles que allí crecían en abundancia. (Traducción libre del original: Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p116 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p49)

Nota de escopo:

An island in the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies. It is chiefly of coral formation with no good harbors and only small streams. It was probably discovered by the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. The name was given by 16th-century Spanish explorers from barbados, the plural for "bearded", with reference to the beard-like leaves or trails of moss on the trees that grew there in abundance. (From Webster's New Geographical Dictionary, 1988, p116 & Room, Brewer's Dictionary of Names, 1992, p49)
