The Faroe Islands, an archipelago located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Iceland, are famously known as the "Island of Sheep". The name is derived from the Old Norse word 'fær', which translates to sheep, and 'øerne', meaning islands in Danish. Historical records indicate that the name 'Faereyjar' (Sheep Islands) first appeared around 1225, a name bestowed by Viking-age settlers from Norway in the ninth century. This etymology is reflected in the national symbol of the islands, which is a ram. Geographically, the islands are characterized by rugged terrain and windswept grasslands where sheep significantly outnumber the human population. Today, the Faroe Islands remain an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, maintaining a strong cultural identity deeply rooted in their history of sheep rearing and maritime life.
