Sark is a small island in the Channel Islands, in the sea between southern England and northern France. People often say it is “part of the UK,” and in everyday talk that is close enough — though actually it is a Crown Dependency, with its own little parliament, and it is not a piece of England. It is famous for having no cars: you walk, cycle, or take a horse-drawn carriage. It is tiny next to its neighbours Jersey and Guernsey. This Sark is a place-name. English also has an old word sark meaning a shirt, especially in Scottish speech, but that is a different word that just happens to look the same.
組成For this island, the origin of the name is unknown. (There is a different old word sark meaning a shirt, from Germanic; that is not this place-name.)
