It was referred to on that map as Ile Vert (Green Island). A different island nearby was known as Ile a Cabritz (Goat Island). During the early Danish period, the names of the two islands were transposed on maps, so that what was originally Green Island is now called Buck Island, and what was originally called Goat Island is now Green Cay)
