Abel Tasman
James Cook did not name New Zealand. New Zealand had already been named by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 - over 130 years before Cook's expedition.
The Flying Dutchman was a ship, not a person.
New Zealand was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642. He named it "Staten Landt," believing it was part of a larger landmass that included the southern continent known as Terra Australis. The name was later changed to New Zealand, derived from the Dutch province of Zeeland. Tasman's expedition marked the first known European contact with the islands.
