Oeno Island (/oʊˈiːnoʊ/ oh-EE-noh)[1] or Holiday Island[2] is an uninhabited coral atoll in the South Pacific Ocean, part of the Pitcairn Islands overseas territory. It is part of the Pitcairn Island Group, together with Pitcairn, Henderson and Ducie islands.
- ^ The name is not Polynesian but Greek. The island was named after the whaling ship Œno /ˈiːnoʊ/. However, the islanders pronounce as if each vowel letter were a syllable, as in Polynesian names.
