Answer 4

New Zealand was named after the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands.

Abel Tasman first named the country Staten Landt.

Sometime between 1643 and 1645 the name Staten Landt was changed to Zelandia Nova and appeared as such, probably for the first time, in Blaeu’s world map of 1645-46. ‘Zelandia’ and ‘Zeeland’ are clear references to the Dutch province of Zeelandt from which the new name was derived. But how the change occurred has always been something of a puzzel.
