Virginnia, the name applied to the American
teritory granted by Queen Elizabeth to Walter Raleigh and explored in 1584
by Philip Amada and Arthur Barlowe. The earliest evidence of the
use of the name occurs before March 25, 1885, in Raleigh's seal as Lord
and Governor of Virginia which is now in the British Museum. The
name honored Elizabeth, "The Virgin Queen," and was applied in the sixteenth
century to the area explored from bases on Roanoke Island. In the sebenteenth
century it vcame to be applied to the permanant settlement around Jamestown,
and after the granting of the Carolina charter in 1663 it no longer was
applied correctly to the territory which was soon to become North Carolina.
