[Daraqan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Austronesian_language#Nouns) Atoll. If my early morning fiddling around with Proto-Austronesian is anywhere close, that’s something like “blood atoll/atoll of blood.” Plus it sounds a bit like “Dragon.” ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > No ideas, but I always thought “Nomanisan Island” was a funny gag on _The Incredibles_. Thank you, John Donne!
