Sargasso Sea, a large tract of the North Atlantic Ocean where sargasso in great abundance floats on the surface.
Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
"seaweed," 1590s, from Portuguese sargasso "seaweed," perhaps from sarga, a type of grape (on this theory, the sea plant was so called from its berry-like air sacs), or from Latin sargus, a kind of fish found in the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic, from Greek sargos. Sargasso Sea attested from 1819.
Wiktionary
