Meaning and background
The story behind Trinidad
Trinidad is the Spanish word for 'trinity', particularly the Christian Holy Trinity, and it is also used as a personal and geographic name. Behind the Name documents the religious derivation and the West Indian island bearing it. Those references should be kept separate: the name does not literally mean an island, nor does every bearer have a connection to the Caribbean.
