I heard that Guam was not actually the island’s real name. Anyone know if that is ture?
Guam is accepted name that has been used in modern times. There have been many different variants of the name used in the past with Guan, Guahan, Goam, etc. used in differing accounts by early explorers. The name often used on Guam even today to denote a Chamoru cultural pride is that of Guahan…
An amazing island with an incredible storied past reaching back 4000 years to the first settlers that I am sure called it something else altogether…either way it is a little sliver of paradise unknown to most American statesiders.
