Jamaica is an island nation of the Greater Antilles, 234 kilometres
(145 mi) in length and as much as 80 kilometres (50 mi) in width situated in the
Caribbean Sea. It is about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of
Cuba,
and 190 kilometres (120 mi) west of the island of Hispaniola, on which
Haiti
and the
Dominican Republic are situated. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking Taíno
inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning the "Land of Wood and
Water", or the "Land of Springs".Formerly a Spanish possession known as
Santiago, it later became the British
West Indies Crown colony of Jamaica. It is the third most populous anglophone
country in the Americas, after the United States and
Canada.
It remains a Commonwealth realm.
