Zemblann.adj.

Forms: 1600s Zemblane, 1600s–1800s Zemblan.
Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: proper name Nova Zembla , -an suffix.
Etymology: < Zembla (in Nova Zembla, the name of an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean: see note) + -an suffix, after French Zemblien (1671 in the passage translated in quot. 1674). Compare Zemblian n., Zemblian adj.The name of Nova Zembla apparently shows a variant (with an epenthetic -b- ) of Novaya Zemlya (now the usual form in English), itself < the Russian place name Novaja Zemlja (already in Old Russian) < novyj new (see new adj.) + zemlja land, earth. The name of the archipelago is attested in English from the 16th cent.; compare:a1584 S. Borough in R. Hakluyt Princ. Navigations (1589) ii. 318 This land, said he [sc. Loshak the Russian trader], is called Noua Zembla, that is to say, the New land.
