Archipelago

The word comes from the Aegean Sea ( Greek ''αρχιπέλαγος'', Italian ''Arcipelago''), which literally means "chief sea", from Greek ''arkhi'' (leader) and ''pelagos'' ( Sea ). The Aegean Sea is located between Greece in the west and Turkey in the east. In the Aegean, the Venetian Dukes Of The Archipelago ruled from Naxos , 1210 – 1566 .

The Archipelago Exchange is a fully electronic Stock Exchange that agreed to merge with the New York Stock Exchange in April 2005 to form the for-profit NYSE Group.
