Later Sir Richard Hawkins called them the Maidenland, after the Blessed Virgin. Subsequently, at the beginning of the 18th century, they were named the Malouines by fishermen from Saint-Malo in Brittany, then finally dubbed the Falklands by the English, to whom they belong today.
Later noemde Richard Hawkens ze Maagdeneilanden, totdat zij in 't begin der achttiende eeuw door visschers van St. Malo Malouinen, en eindelijk door de Engelschen Falklandseilanden genoemd werden.
