Alright, so I was at work and this epiphany happened.
Islands are called islands because in the middle of the sea there is land.
Where there is land, you delete a space and call it island because it is land.
"Eye lands" as they're pronounced are spelled is lands because they is lands, well are lands really. Plural islands should be pronounced "arelands".
Ireland may have developed its name from this because "arelands" in a local accent could be irelands.
