Until 1972, Sri Lanka was known to the world as Ceylon (remember Ceylon tea?). The country was named Ceylon by the Portuguese in the 16th century, and it later became a British colony. Even after gaining independence in 1948, Sri Lanka continued to be called Ceylon for nearly another quarter-century. The name change to Sri Lanka, meaning "resplendent island" in Sanskrit, marked a move to shed the colonial past and embrace a national identity that reflected its ancient heritage. Today, Sri Lanka is known for its rich history, biodiversity, and, of course, its famous tea, which still carries the name "Ceylon" in global markets.
