What does the word Croatoan mean?

Governor John White discovered the colonists gone when he returned to the colony from England in 1590 and carved the letters on a post on the fort.The letters CRO were carved into a tree.Mr. White concluded that the settlers relocated to Croatoan Island because of their friendship with a native of the island.No trace of them was ever found after the investigation.

Some of the tribe's possessions were offered as proof that a high ranking warrior had killed the colonists, but it is possible that they had actually integrated with the natives based on stories told by their descendants.

Because no one knows for sure, and because of this, it has become a popular story told in folklore and has even been incorporated into English as an expression: "back to Croatoa" meaning to live in.

I think it was someones name.If you start with the letter C and then skip the rest of the words, it spells COTA, but if you add the letters R and R again, you get Raon.The croatoan were an England tribe that captured the Roanoke people.I could be wrong.Shaylee.

They think that the settlers went to live with an Indian tribe.Some members of the tribe were mixed with Europeans.
