 Although the Taino referred to the island as "Xaymaca", the Spanish gradually changed the name to "Jamaica".In the so-called Admiral's map of 1507 the island was labeled as "Jamaiqua" and in Peter Martyr's work "Decades" of 1511, he referred to it as both "Jamaica" and "Jamica".In late 1654, English leader Oliver Cromwell launched the "Western Design" armada against Spain's colonies in the Caribbean.
