ARCHIPELAGO

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 369 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCHIPELAGO , a name now applied to any
island
 -studded sea, but originally the distinctive designation of what is now generally known as the
Aegean
  Sea (Alyaiov iEXayos), its ancient name having been revived. Several etymologies have been proposed: e.g. (I) it is a corruption of the ancient name, Egeopelago; (2) it is from the
modern
  Greek, `Ayto irEXayo, the Holy Sea; (3) it arose at the time of the Latin
empire
 , and means the Sea of the Kingdom (
Arch
 ); (4) it is a
translation
  of the Turkish name, Ak Denghiz, Argon Pelagos, the
White
  Sea; (5) it is simply Archipelagus, Italian, arcipelago, the
chief
  sea. For the Grecian Archipelago see
AEGEAN
  SEA. Other archipelagoes are described in their respective places.
