Is everyone aware that Columbus named the first island he came to San Salvador? Holy Savior?

Masons tried to change it at one time, but it still retains the Catholic name.

How many cities, states, etc. in the United States have Catholic or Christian names? A lot — Especially along El Camino Rael in California. All saints names — ssssh — don’t tell the people in California that San Francisco was really named San Francisco de Assisi.
