As the first modern humans expanded around the globe, they eventually tackled the last section of earth warm enough to sustain life: the pacific islands. Their progress continued fairly quickly, and by around 1500 BC they had reached Fiji. However then progress seems to have stopped, and islands further east weren't touched by humanity for another 2000 years, a period known as the 'Long Pause'. A new theory suggests that the hindrance might have been strong winds experienced east of Fiji, which took two millennia of technological advancements to overcome.
Bonus:
The suffix 'don' or 'den' comes from the Old English word for 'hill', and is often found in the names of persons or places.
