Set the scene.
Visit Gozo suggests that Sannat probably comes from the name of an Arabic-Greek family that moved from Sicily to Gozo.
Here’s the twist.
That proposed family connection remains qualified. The village became an independent parish in 1688, a clearer dated milestone in its development.
Why it still matters.
Nearby Ta’ Ċenċ carries prehistoric remains and dramatic cliffs. A village can stand among much older landscapes while its own name recalls a later human story.
