Trivia

pronounced "BarBayDos"

The City of Bridgetown, population 5,928 (1990) metropolitan area 110,000 (2000), formerly the Town of Saint Michael, is the capital city of the island nation of Barbados. Geographically the Bridgetown port is located, on the southwestern coast of the island along the Caribbean Sea.

Although the island was totally abandoned or uninhabited when the British landed there, one of the only traces of an indigenous tribe's pre-existence on the island was a very primitive bridge constructed over the Careenage ("Constitution River") in the centre of Bridgetown. It is suspected that this bridge was created by a people indigenous to the Caribbean known as the Arawak Indians. Upon finding the structure the British settlers began to call what is now the Bridgetown area, Indian Bridge.

Barbados is an island nation located towards the east of the Caribbean Sea and in the west of the Atlantic Ocean, part of the eastern islands of the Lesser Antilles, with the nations of Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines being its closest neighbours. The island is 430 square kilometres, (166 sq. mi), and is primarily low-lying, with some higher areas in the island's interior. It is located 13° north of the Equator and 59° west of the Prime Meridian, about 434.5 kilometres (270 mi) northeast of Venezuela.

In Germany there is a website for disucssing soccer and the site has been named a Sock exchange.

Barbados Blackbelly sheep are a sheep name after the island.

The Barbado breed originated in Texas, not Barbados, yet the breed originated from Barbados Blackbelly sheep which were crossed with Rambouillet and mouflon. One of the uses of the Barbado is as a trophy animal on game ranches due to its large curled horns. It is typically tan, tan with a pale or black belly or pied. The coat varies from short hair to coarse wool with a large amount of kemp fibers. Males show the horns for which the breed was selected and the females are polled.

The surname Barbay does not originate from the island. It is Belgian variant of the French Barbeau, or a Respelling of French Barbé, meaning ‘bearded’, from an adjectival derivative of barbe.
