While Arab and Malay sailors knew of Mauritius as early as the 10th century AD and Portuguese sailors first visited in the 16th century, the island was not colonized until 1638 by the Dutch. Mauritius was populated over the next few centuries by waves of traders, planters and their slaves, indentured laborers, merchants, and artisans.

Впервые Маврикий появился на карте в 1502 году, под названием, похожим по своему звучанию на арабское "Дина Робин", свидетельство о самых первых прибывших сюда мореплавателях. Португальцы высадились здесь впервые в 1510 году. Они дали острову название "CISNE" (cygne) - или из-за впечатляющих "додо", или же в честь одного из своих кораблей под названием "Cirne". Но очень быстро они покидают остров.
