Forms: 1700s New Zeeland, 1700s–1800s New-Zealand, 1700s– New Zealand, 1900s– Newzealand.

Origin: From a proper name; perhaps modelled on a Dutch lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymon: proper name New Zealand.

Etymology: < New Zealand, the name of an island nation in the South Pacific, about 1600 km south-east of Australia, after Dutch Nieuw Zeeland or post-classical Latin Zelandia Nova, which appears on Blaeu's world map (1645–6). The second element represents Dutch Zeeland , the name of a province of the Netherlands (see Zeelander n.). The name was perhaps coined by analogy with New Holland, former name of Australia (after a neighbouring province of the Netherlands); it is first attested in English use in 1768 in Cook's journal.The land was sighted by Abel Tasman c1642 and named by him Staaten Landt ‘land of the States’.
