This island is known by geographers as Fua Mulaku. This name is more widely known. The origin of this name is in the ancient local poem 'Rashoveshi' where the name of the island in the first line is in the vocative: "Fua Mulaku nan ivē medu adi fen heu rashē..." The geographical name of the island is much more beautiful than the administrative "Fuvammulah", for the "v" in the local language is silent anyway. Therefore there was no need to redirect from "Fua Mulaku" to "Fuvammulah" because most maps which include this island have its name as Fua Mulaku. Hence the title of this page should have kept as "Fua Mulaku" and please keep the ugly Fuvammulah (ފުވައްމުލައް)for its name in the Thaana script and for internal administrative purposes where it belongs.
