Australia's name comes from the Latin Austral = southern. The name was favoured by Matthew Flinders, and though Banks persuaded him to use Terra Australis in the documents, Flinders included a footnote recording his preference.
[But Banks was the patron, and the golden rule is "He who has the gold makes the rules."]
The word Australia had earlier use but merely as common Latin, not as a formal name.
