覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Bermuda は北大西洋の英国海外領土を指す固有名詞で、通常は大文字で書く。pink sand beaches や coral reefs という観光地の情景、Bermuda Triangle という定番固有名詞と結び付ける。名称はスペインの探検家 Juan de Bermúdez の姓に由来すると覚える。
Treat Bermuda as a geographical proper name and write it with a capital B. Link it with a clear island scene: pink-sand beaches, coral reefs, warm weather, and clear Atlantic water. The familiar expression Bermuda Triangle provides another strong context, though it names a much larger region of the western North Atlantic. To remember the name itself, connect Bermuda with Juan de Bermúdez, the Spanish navigator after whom the islands were named. In sentences, it commonly follows in, from, or registered in.

bermuda の語源・成り立ち Etymology
16世紀スペインの探検家フアン・デ・ベルムデス（Juan de Bermúdez）が発見したことに由来。姓Bermúdezはゲルマン語の「熊（bero）＋勇気（mod）」が語源で、「熊のように勇敢な者」の意。同系統の名にBernard（熊＋強い）がある。
Bermuda was named after the Spanish navigator Juan de Bermúdez, who is associated with the European discovery of the islands in the early sixteenth century. The place name reflects his surname. Bermúdez has been connected with a Germanic personal-name tradition containing elements interpreted as “bear” and “courage” or “spirit.” In modern English, Bermuda functions primarily as the proper name of the Atlantic island territory.
