"Russian general Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov appears as "Suwarrow" in Lord Byron's epic poem Don Juan."

In fact, the island is indirectly named after the general. The island is named for the Russian ship which discovered it (first recorded discovery, anyway), and the ship was named for the general.

[edit] Merge Suwarrow National Park here?

Set up merge request. Reason: National Park article has little significant content. Dysmorodrepanis 23:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

No merge should take place here. Although cross referencing should be done. For example Surwarrow vide Surarrow National Park. This article does have significant content and just about contains the entire written history of this Island. Apparently Dysmorodrepanis does not sail nor has ever been there as this writer has sailed the South Pacific and DOES know what he writes about.
