What is the new Zealand official name?
New Zealand is officially named "New Zealand". Its inhabitants are generally referred to as "New Zealanders" or, colloquially, "Kiwis". It was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642, and some time after he named it "Nieuw Zeeland", which later became anglicised as New Zealand. New Zealand is sometimes referred to as "Aotearoa" one of the names used by some Maori and more commonly by those on the political far left in recent times. "Aotearoa" first referred to the north island only, then later became used (more commonly since the 1990s) for the whole country. Prior to European settlement, Maori did not have a concept of New Zealand being a singular nation as they were several warring tribes that had no use or desire for unification. New Zealand's national anthem is "God Defend New Zealand" and its flag is referred to as the New Zealand flag.
