Why do they really call them the "virgin islands"?

The Virgin Islands were named by Christopher Columbus in 1493 after the legend of Saint Ursula and her 11,000 martyred virgins, calling them "Santa Úrsula y las Once Mil Vírgenes" (Saint Ursula and the Eleven Thousand Virgins), a name later shortened to "The Virgins" (Las Vírgenes). He reportedly named Virgin Gorda ("Fat Virgin") because it looked like a reclining woman, and even named the area around St. Croix "Cape of Arrows" after a hostile encounter.
