  • Alcatrez is said to be an old spanish word for pelican. Because Pelicans migrate near the island, it was supposedly so named Alcatrez, according to a documentary seen on birds.

  • I was reading that 'alcatrez' had no background, but recently I heard on a documentary about birds that it is an old spanish word meaning 'pelican'. Since the pelicans migrate near the island, it was thus named, according to the documentary.
