PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND. ORIGIN OF PROVINCE NAME: Prince Edward Island was originally called Abegweit (lying down flat, or cradled by the waves) by the Micmac Indians. Europeans called it the Island of Saint John in 1763; in 1799 the island was renamed Prince Edward Island, in honor of Prince Edward of England. NICKNAME: The Garden Province, The Million Acre Farm, or Spud Island.
Edward was the name of several Saxon and eight English kings, and is the name of the youngest son of the current queen. It was an early arrival in the New World -- there were several Edwards in the Jamestown colony and six on the Mayflower. Youngish actors Edwards Norton, Burns and Furlong help keep the name's image fresh. Parents today are more likely to prefer nicknames Ted or Ned to the traditional Ed or Eddie-- or, just as likely, to use the name in full.
