== Etymology==
The island's original name — Isola Meridionale — was bestowed upon it when it became a colony of the Dallacquan Empire. In [[Staynish]], this translates to "southerly" and refers to its southern position from the Empire. Its current name originates from Lorenzo "Barbanera" Insigne, a famous pirate who lead a clique that wrestled control of the island from the Dallacquans for three centuries. The island was posthumously renamed in his honour by his son who inherited control over the island and the clique. The smaller island was named after his mother, Lucia. Once Dallacqua regained the island, it continued to use Isola Meridionale but this name was not used locally. The name "Barbanera" was only officially adopted by the Dallacquans after the collapse of the Second Empire.
