Australia has only ever had one "official" name, and that is its current name: The Commonwealth of Australia.
As a continent, the name "Australia" was adopted in 1824, but this did not refer to the country, as Australia was not yet a country, but a group of colonies occupying the same continent.
Before it was called Australia, the western half was known as New Holland, and the eastern half was New South Wales.
