Archaeological evidence suggests Barbados was inhabited by Barrancoid Indians from at least 1,000 BC, and by Arawak and Carib people for about 400 years from around AD 1,000. However, Portuguese mariners who landed in 1536 reported that the island was uninhabited. The Portuguese named it Los Barbados—meaning ‘bearded’, seemingly a reference to the appearance of local fig trees.
