In 1521, the island was given its formal name inchSan Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico inch, following the usual custom of christening the town with both its formal name and the name which Christopher Columbus had originally given the island, honoring John the Baptist. The indistinct use of inchSan Juan Bautista inch and inchPuerto Rico inch for calling both the city and the island led to a reversal in practical use by most inhabitants due largely to a mapmaking error. Therefore by 1746 the name for the city Puerto Rico had become that of the entire island, while the name for the island San Juan Bautista had become the name for the city. The official motto for the island of Puerto Rico also references the saint, Joannes Est Nomen Eius translated, inchJohn is his name inch. He is also a patron saint of French Canada, and Newfoundland. The Canadian cities of St. John's, Newfoundland 1497 and Saint John, New Brunswick 1604 were both named in his honor. In the UK Saint John the Baptist is the patron saint of Penzance, Cornwall. His feast day is June 24, celebrated in Quebec as the Fte nationale du Qubec la Fte StJeanBaptiste., Available in Solid 14K Yellow or White Gold, or in Sterling Silver
