One of Korčula's old names was Curzola. The island was from 1420 to 1797 part of the ''Republic of Venice'' (dissolved in 1797). The Old-Slavic term was Krkar.  According to Antun (Antonio) Rosanovic written in [[Defence of Korcula (part two)|Defence of Korcula in 1571]] the Greeks named it '''Kórkyra Melaena''' meaning Black Corfu after their homeland and the dense woods on the island.
