Sharing is caring! When the French and English invaded the island they too used chose to use the term Zante, but after the French and English were ousted and the island was returned to Greek occupation, the name Zakynthos was once more reinstated and used as the islands official name. This is an argument that many people have. Strictly speaking, Zakynthos is the true Greek name and many now consider it to be the islands real name.
