What was the name of the Mysterious Island, in Jules Verne's "The Mysterious Island"?

The story behind the answer

Lincoln Island is correct. The castaways—Cyrus Smith (Harding in some translations), Gideon Spilett, Pencroff, Herbert, and Neb—christen their South Pacific refuge “Lincoln Island” to honor U.S. President Abraham Lincoln shortly after his 1865 assassination. The novel begins amid the American Civil War, and the name signals Verne’s admiration for liberty, ingenuity, and progress.

Context to remember: the island secretly shelters Captain Nemo, whose unseen aid helps the group survive, and it’s ultimately destroyed by its volcano, Mount Franklin. Memory tip: think “Lincoln Logs”—the marooned men painstakingly build a new society, log by log. And don’t be misled by “Vulcania”: that’s the Disney name for Nemo’s base in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, not the island’s name in Verne’s novel.
