Zealand

The meaning of Zealand is ‘sea land’. It is a gender-neutral name that is of Dutch origin. It comes from the Danish word 'sjælland'. A similar word spelt ‘seeland’ can also be found in the German language, where ‘see’ means lake and ‘land’ means ‘country’. The name is most well known because of New Zealand, an island nation in the oceanic continent. In 1642, New Zealand was discovered by the explorers Abel Tasman and his crew after they had steered in the wrong direction on a cruise. They became the first Europeans to discover this island. Eventually, the island was called 'Nieuw Zealand' by Dutch authorities; Zeeland was the Dutch province that New Zeland was named after. However, for years after that, the land remained unvisited until Captain Cook, an English navigator, rediscovered it on a voyage. Cook then renamed the island 'New Zealand', an angelized version of the first name.
