Apart from the principle island of Madeira that gave the archipelago its name, there is also the island of Porto Santo and the uninhabited islets of the Desertas (Deserta Grande, Chao and Bugio) and the Selvagens. These wooded islands actually lent the main island the name 'madeira' for it means wood in Portuguese.
