Paradise Island

Of course, we all know that Themyscira is Paradise Island. In the comics, the island receives its name much later in Wonder Woman’s history. In the movie, Steve Trevor dubs it Paradise Island. Of course, Themyscira is a bit hard to pronounce (that’s why Diana smirks when she hears this new name).

The island is a paradise because it isn’t tainted by man, a species beneath the Amazons. Even though he doesn’t fully believe Diana’s story about her origin and the God of War, Trevor knows that man isn’t inherently good.

Diana says that men are useful for procreation, but not much else, and the Island and the fact that she’s the only child on it is a testament to that.
