New Zealand was named after a province of the Netherlands named zeeland. It is the place were they build the famous "stormvloed kering" (super high tide stopper.... or something).pope_of_larry said:Wikipedia has something to say on the matter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZealandNeedAUserName said:Zealand, as far as I can tell there is no Zealand to make New Zealand new. Therefore I would give up my countries name to fix this anomaly.

And even then, Zealand is in Denmark. Meaning New Zealand was originally named Staten Landt, then Nieuw Zeeland, and then Captain Cook said "fuck them Dutch" and named it New Zealand, possibly because he was on the Danish payroll. Nice going with the name, European settlers.kazork said:New Zealand was named after a province of the Netherlands named zeeland.
