These islands off the coast of Indonesia are called Maluku Utara, meaning "the head of a bull" in the local language. What are they more commonly known as in English?

The Spice Islands off the coast of Indonesia get their name because they supplied Europe with nutmeg, mace, and cloves as early as the sixteenth century. At one time, over 130 languages were spoken across the islands, but more recently the most common languages are a handful of creole dialects.
