Krasoa Islands: Difference between revisions

A theory attributing the name to a [[Tryhstian Littoral|Tryhstian]] navigator named Fernão Crassoa gained currency during the 21010s and was commonly printed in reference works and local school textbooks until around 21194, when an exhaustive study by an élite team of historians failed to find written records of anyone by that surname dating from before the word was in use as a name for the islands. Nonetheless, a statue of Fernão Crassoa (modelled on an unknown subject) still stands in front of the Colonial Stanora building, and many parks, squares, and schools in the colonies  are named in honour of the spurious Crassoa. However, some families with ties to the islands do bear the surname Crassoa, as for many decades it was bestowed on children of unknown parentage raised in state-run orphanages.
