Trinidads

Trinidads is the plural form of Trinidad and may be used to refer to multiple places or entities that share the name Trinidad. In English usage, the plural is uncommon and typically appears in disambiguation lists, encyclopedic indices, or when enumerating several locales named Trinidad.

The name Trinidad derives from the Spanish word for Trinity, a reference associated with Christian symbolism that accompanied Spanish exploration and colonization. The name was widely exported to the Americas and beyond, appearing in many regions during the colonial era.

Geographic usage: The most globally recognized Trinidad is the Caribbean island that forms part of the sovereign nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Outside the Caribbean, several towns and cities bear the name Trinidad, including Trinidad, Colorado; Trinidad, California; Trinidad, Bolivia (capital of the Beni Department); Trinidad, Cuba (a city in Sancti Spíritus Province); and Trinidad, Uruguay (a city in Flores Department). These places range from small towns to larger municipalities and lie in different countries across the Americas and the Caribbean.

Applications and references: Beyond settlements, Trinidad appears in street names, institutions, and natural features, reflecting historical religious naming practices. When referring to more than one such location, sources may use Trinidads to signal a collection of different Trinidads, though most English-language writing prefers context or the singular Trinidad with a clarifying phrase.
