Nancy - I can't find any etymology for "Odiak" I have a feeling the people who built it just shortened the word Kodiak -- which has a Russian origin meaning "island".

If you have some other documentation on "Odiak", please email it to me.

When you are on this page, you can check to see if a lighthouse has been used by typing CTRL-F and then typing in the proposed name you want to add (depending on the browser you are using you may also need to hit ENTER").

If it doesn't find the word, then you are safe to add it.

I'm not done yet, but it takes more and more time to research the possible lights to verify they qualify.
