If I'm purchasing an island, can someone tell me what the difference between "Region Name" and "Estate Name" is?

Thanks!

Region is the name of each particular area/region/island

Estate is the name for a collection of regions. i.e. "Mainland" , etc...

So if I will only own one island then the region name is the same as the estate name?

They don't have to be. However, they certainly can have the same name.
