Definition: The word "Adlerian" is a name for the small island, originally named Adro, that was first discovered by Sir Henry Adler in 1862. The island had no settlements when Sir Henry visited it in 1857 and it was not until he returned to his native country, England, in 1904 that a settlement was established on the island. The name "Adlerian" is derived from the name of the explorer who discovered the island and has been adopted by local authorities as its official name. The Adro Islands are an archipelago of small islands located off the west coast of Madagascar. They were first mapped in 1862 and named after Sir Henry Adler, an English naturalist and cartographer who was instrumental in establishing a number of new territories and exploring many new areas. The Adro Islands are one of the few known examples of an archipelago with a single main island and are home to a small community of local residents. In addition to its name, "Adlerian" is also often used as a term for the smaller islands in Madagascar, which may have been named after Sir Henry Adler. The Adro Islands and other similar islands on the eastern coast of Madagascar are known as the "Little Madagascar". Overall, the word "Adlerian" has become a common name for the small island group that includes the Adro Islands.
