<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Limu'''</span> (Limun) is the name recorded for Santa Cruz Island by the Cabrillo expedition of 1542. Cabrillo’s chronicler attempted to preserve the local Indian names.
: “The Indians call this island Liquimuymu [San Miguel Island], and another they call Nicalque [Santa Rosa Island], and the other they call Limu [Santa Cruz Island]... in leaving the port, a heavy storm from the west-northwest struck them, which made them put into the other island of San Lucas, and they anchored off the island of Limun, to which they gave the name of San Salvador.”
