@ericjungleboy thank you for your comment. One school of thought suggest this origin of the name Barbados. Others hold the view that the word "Barbados" is plural for bearded men. now the Amerindian men "Arawak and or Carib are without beards, and so this school is persuaded that the bearded men are of Africa. Weather the beards are of men or of our national tree, the commonality is beards. On a different note, perhaps you have heard of the "Barbadianos" in Brazil who went there to work in 1900
How interesting. I speak Portuguese, but that never occured to me. Barbados means "bearded ones", so i guess that's referring to the trees.
