Nesia意为“岛”,因此“密克罗尼西亚”意味着“小岛”。波利尼西亚,一般包括岛屿在夏威夷一个三角形的形状,新西兰和复活节岛,意思是“许多岛屿。”Melanesia includes everything else that you probably thought was part of Polynesia: the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, New Caledonia (part of France) and Vanuatu. Melanesia means "black islands," or islands of darker-skinned people, in reference to the darker skin tone of many of the island's inhabitants.
