The Dutch and other colonizing powers called their claims in the New World 'new' parts of their respective countries. For example, to one side of the Dutch colony was the 'New Sweden' settlement of the Swedish colonizers. On another side was the 'New England' settlement of the English colonizers.
The term 'New Netherlands' didn't just refer to the future state of New York, within the United States of America. It actually referred to the land from the modern day Delmarva Peninsula of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia all the way up to part of modern day Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The word in Dutch was 'Nieuw Nederland'.
