Before Anguilla was known by its present-day name, the island was called Malliouhana by its Indigenous Arawak inhabitants. Believed to mean “arrow-shaped sea serpent,” the name reflects the island’s long, slender shape and its deep connection to the Caribbean Sea. Today, Malliouhana remains a beautiful reminder of Anguilla’s history, cultural heritage, and island identity.
