Question: What’s the only country in the world named for a woman?
Answer: Saint Lucia. Also known as Saint Lucie, the Caribbean island country was named by French settlers, who were among the first Europeans to establish a presence on the island. Although there are territories named after a woman or group of women, such as the Virgin Islands, Saint Lucia is the only sovereign state to be named for a woman—Saint Lucy of Syracuse, a 3rd-century Christian martyr.
