I know we have been quite familiar with Aruba. The island has been blessed with good surroundings and generous people. The word "Aruba" is very unique. Do you know where did they get the name?
The name "Aruba" is really unique. I have known that it may originated from the word "oro huba" that is translated as "there was gold". Do you think we could find lots of gold in the island?
Really? I don't know much about the history of Aruba. I haven't even thought as to where the word "Aruba" came from. Does it came from the Dutch word or Spanish word?
