Answer» What is Futuna Island, Wallis and Futuna mean? Futuna (; French: [fu.tu.na]) is an 80 km2 (30 sq mi) island in the Pacific Ocean with a population of 3,225. It belongs to the French overseas collectivity (collectivité d'outre-mer, or COM) of Wallis and Futuna. It is one of the Hoorn Islands or Îles Horne; nearby Alofi is the other. They are both a remnant of the same ancient, extinct volcano, now bordered with a fringing reef. Futuna has a maximum elevation of 500 m (1,600 ft). Futuna is where Pierre Chanel was martyred in 1841, becoming Polynesia's only Catholic saint. The cathedral of Poi now stands on the site where he was martyred. Futuna takes its name from an endonym derived from the local futu, meaning fish-poison tree. reference |
