Fiji

• Viti
• (obsolete spellings): Feejee, Fejee, Feegee

Borrowed from Tongan Fisi (historically pronounced with a palatal affricate, IPA^(key): [ˈfit͡ʃi]), itself borrowed from Fijian Viti, from Proto‐Central Pacific *viti ‘east, sunrise’. The English spelling ‘Fiji’ was popularized by Captain James Cook’s phonetic transcription of the 18th‐century Tongan pronunciation.

     Going to Christmas island may take several days with a stop in Fiji on the way and on return.

• Because English speakers adapted both vowels as long, heavy IPA^(key): /iː/ sounds, ‘Fiji’ acts as a spondee in that language. This causes stress fluctuation: speakers of North American English typically apply default first‐syllable noun stress (IPA^(key): /ˈfiː.d͡ʒi/), which coincidentally preserves the rhythmic pattern of the indigenous etymons. Conversely, speakers in the UK and Australia typically apply final‐syllable stress, a common pattern for foreign place names ending in heavy vowels (IPA^(key): /fiːˈd͡ʒiː/).
