Set the scene.
Dwejra is a diminutive of dar: a little house. Gozo Album suggests that a small dwelling on the spot may have supplied the name.
Here’s the twist.
That proposed dwelling is not identified with certainty. The name applies to a port and inlet on Gozo’s western coast, near San Lawrenz.
Why it still matters.
Compare the scale of the word with the scenery. A simple everyday building could give a lasting name to a place later celebrated for its enormous natural formations.
