| Origin
of names: |
The
names of most of the atolls are simply the names
of letters of the Thaana alphabet. Thaana is
used to write Dhivehi, the language of the Maldives,
and is related to both the Arabic and Devanagari
alphabets. Male comes from Arabic al-Mahal:
palace. |
| Change
in history: |
~1987:
Male city split from Kaafu atoll.
~1998: Aliff atoll (MV.AL) split into Aliff
Aliff and Aliff Daalu. |

names of subdivisions: |
Note:
(Admiralty) refers to atoll names on the British
Admiralty charts. Aliff may be transcribed instead
as Alif or Alifu; Daalu may be Dhaal or Dhaalu,
Gaafu may be Gaaf, and so on. Names ending in
"North" or "South" may equally
well appear inverted (e.g. North Male instead
of Male North). Names may be followed by "Atoll".
Male is often written with an acute accent or
reasonable facsimile (Malé, Male'). |
