At one point in the film, Steve Trevow clearly struggles with pronouncing Themyscira and instead refers to Diana's homeland as "Paradise Island", which elicits a smirk from Diana.

That's clearly because the name is exactly what Themyscira was once known as. When William Moulton created Wonder Woman, he had his Amazons inhabit Paradise Island - a utopian ideal free of men.
