Stories & traditions · folklore
Xavier Romero-Frías records a variant of the Koimala legend in which royal seats shifted between northern islands before Malé. He presents this as a folk explanation for island names beginning with “Ras” (royal), including Rasgetheemu, Rasmaadhoo and Rasdhoo; it is not a verified etymology.
