agree  Evelyne Trolley de Prévaux: it is called sonda because sondar= to drill and it is a place where you have over 100 oil rigs............... they drill!!

agree  bigedsenior: bay is an alternative to sound as the definitions are inexact. It comes from the Anglo-Saxon or Norse - Sunda - meaning to swim - a body of water that a person can swim across.

neutral  moken: Hi Evelyne. Sonda is a geographical term in Spanish. The fact that it is drilled for oil is a mere coincidence. :O) :O)
