This is a beautiful post about the origin of the name of the Azores. I know that all the islands of the archipelago should be of volcanic origin. I was told that the name probably came from the Portuguese term for goshawk (açor), a bird of prey similar to a falcon.

Everything indicates that they mistook the birds... Nowadays, we have many "falcons"... The goshawk does not exist around here! Cheers :)
