Ferdinand Columbus says that Dominica was called Dominica because Columbus had found it on a Sunday morning (e.g.: „Bei Tagesanbruch erblickten sie im Westen Land, 7 Meilen von der Flotte entfernt, es war eine hohe, bergige Insel, der er den Namen ‚Dominica‘ gab, da er sie an einem Sonntagmorgen entdeckt hatte.“)
