section::::etymology.









































the native lenape name for the island was "kioshk", meaning "gull island", in reference to ellis island's former large population of seagulls. when the dutch settled the area as part of new netherland, the three islands in upper new york bay—liberty, black tom, and ellis islands—were given the name oyster islands, alluding to the large oyster population nearby. the comparatively large liberty island was called "great oyster island" (and later "bedloe's island"), while ellis island was called "little oyster island", despite being larger than black tom island. the name "little oyster island" persisted through at least the early 1900s.
