In Grenada, many places have French names due to the country's colonial history. For example, the capital city of St. George's is named after Saint George. Other French-derived names include Grand Anse, which means "big cove," and La Sagesse, which means "wisdom" in French. These names reflect the influence of French culture on the island of Grenada.
