The name Okinawa means "rope in the open sea", a fairly apt description of this long stretch of islands between mainland Japan and Taiwan.

Okinawa is the southern most island in Japan. There are actually a few islands very close to together. There is a American army base on the main island. Okinawa is considered a prefecture- like a state.

Along with the previous answers Okinawa can refrer to a campaign in the closing days of World War II in the Pacific (April to June 1945); in savage close-quarter fighting United States marines and regular army troops took the island from the Japanese; considered the greatest victory of the Pacific campaign.
