The Dutch explorer Abel Tasman was the first recorded European to discover New Zealand in the 1600's and was named Nieuw Zeeland,or in Latin,Zelandia Nova.Zeeland is a maritme province of Holland suggesting it means sealand.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "stand for", but here is the etymology of 'New Zealand':
"The name New Zealand originated with Dutch cartographers, who called the islands Nova Zeelandia, after the Dutch province of Zeeland. No one is certain exactly who first coined the term, but it first appeared in 1645 and may have been the choice of cartographer Johan Blaeu. British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicised the name to New Zealand.
New Zealand was first latinized as Nova Zeelandia by the Dutch authorities, but the land was discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642, though he named it Staten Landt, believing it to be part of the 'great Southern Land' needed to balance the landmasses of Asia and Europe. The Latin see, in English literally means sea, so 'Sea Land' - a variant of Island is an etymological equivalent.
Dutch mapmakers, in 1645, named the land Nova Zeelandia after the Dutch province of Zeeland. James Cook, a British explorer later "anglicized" the name to New Zealand.
