The name Caledonia derives from the Latin name of an area corresponding to modern Scotland.The rugged coastline of New Caledonia allegedly reminded Captain Cook (whose father was a Scot) of Scotland, and he thus named it New Caledonia.
The word for Scotland in classical Latin was Caledonia. Later Latin also added Scotia, which originally referred to Ireland (the Scoti were raiders from Ireland who harried British shores during the Roman occupation).
Caledonia is the Latin name given by the Romans to the land in today's Scotland north of their province of Brittania, beyond the frontier of their empire. Modern use is as a romantic or poetic name for Scotland, as a whole.
