Etymology

First attested in the 18th century. From Portuguese ilha, perhaps from Old Catalan illa, from Latin insula. Partially displaced Old Galician-Portuguese inssoa (whence the inherited Galician insua, "river island"). See: Portuguese Nouns 'ilha', Latin Nouns 'insula', Old Portuguese Nouns 'inssoa'.
