History of Mauritius
The Dutch Admiral Wybrandt van Warwyck took possession of the island in 1598 and named it Mauritius after Prince Maurice of Nassau, the Stadtholder of Holland. As the
Dutch were more interested in trade than in territory, they made no attempt to settle there. 1998 is the 400th anniversary of their first landing on the island. [eng]

History of Mauritius
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. [eng]

Mauritius. История.
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. [rus]
