In Polish, Faroe islands are called "Wyspy Owcze", which is a direct translation of just one of the possible etymologies of Old Norse "Færeyjar" :

The name's etymological origin has been subject to dispute. The most widely held theory, first attested in Færeyinga Saga, interprets Færeyjar as a straightforward compound of fær ('sheep') and eyjar ('islands'), meaning 'sheep islands' in reference to their abundance on the archipelago.
