someone said Ligaya meant something in Tagalic, like hope or love or something...
I assume it was for Ferry's wife, who is Filipino, but i'm not sure exactly what Ligaya means..

According to the Tagalog to English Dictionary, Ligaya means delight. I was told it meant happiness, but I guess that is close enough.
one i remember from the old ones i remember was the name Solar Stone...which the guys picked out by flipping the pages of a book and landing on a sculpture by michelangelo...

And I think Yimanya might be an alternate spelling of Yemanja, who from the looks of this website, is a goddess of the ocean.
also another one i remember once again about solar stone hehehe...but that a possible reference for the track seven cities could be the legend of the seven cities of Cibola...the cities made of gold that Coronado went in search of in the lower united states...

This is what I found about Isle Dauphine (translates to Dolphin Island perhaps?). It seems to be part of an archipelago between South America and Africa. It is a dependency of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.
