Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. In 1660 the French took control of the island they named Sainte-Lucie. After whom is it thought to have been named?"
...1. Lucille Ball 2. Saint Lucy of Syracuse 3. Lucy (skeleton AL 288-1) 4. Lucy Pevensie Only Saint Lucy (283-304 CE) would have been known to the French settlers. The patroness of the blind, her feast, on December 13, is celebrated as Saint Lucia's national day, called the Festival of Lights. It is not clear why the English name for the country uses the Latin form of her name rather than the English one. In fact, there is quite a lot of mystery surrounding the exact origins of the name. The French signed a treaty with the native Caribs in 1660, but Great Britain took control of the island between 1663 and 1667; the two countries struggled for control of the Caribbean over a number of years, and Saint Lucia changed hands over a dozen times before Britain finally took control in 1814. Because it switched between British and French control so many times, Saint Lucia has been nicknamed 'the Helen of the West Indies', a reference to the battle over Helen of Troy. The French influence is apparent in many Saint Lucian place names.
