Australia
The continent of Australia has been known by that name since 1824. After Matthew Flinders circumnavigated Australia, he then proposed the name Terra Australis, which became Australia, the name adopted in 1824. However, there was no country called Australia at this point, as the continent was occupied by individual colonies. The actual country of Australia did not come into being until 1 January 1901, when the six colonies federated to become the Commonwealth of Australia.
