Eluvaitivu has several meanings in Tamil including "the island of landmark" which is derived from the Tamil words elu (mast or tower), vai (land) and tivu (island).[1] [2] The island has an area of 1.4km2 and had a population of 555 at the 2012 census.[3] [4]
Eluvaitivu has no causeway connecting it to the mainland or other islands but is served by a ferry service from Kayts on the neighbouring island of Velanaitivu.[5] [6]
