A fiery name with a distinctive sound, Eldey is a familiar name in Iceland, that also appears on the map as an uninhabited island off the southwest coast of the country. Ultimately derived from Old Norse, it means "fire island", likely in reference to its location on a volcanic ridge,

Now a nesting ground for gannets, Eldey is a small, rocky island with sheer cliffs, known for being home to the last colony of flightless great auks in the 19th century. The birds were made extinct after the colony was discovered and killed for museum collections.

Pronounced as EHLT-ay, with each syllable distinctive from the other, it would need some practise outside of Iceland.

Pronounced EL-day.
