Where did the word ‘bikini’ originally come from?

The famous swimwear ‘bikini’ took its name from the Bikini island, an atoll of the Marshall Islands.

Bikini was one of the atolls used for nuclear weapon testings between 1946 and 1958 and the islanders left it and moved to another island.

Bikini initially gained fame due to the weapon testings and later on due to the female swimsuit, which took its name.
