He didn't discover Greenland, he discovered North America. His father, Erik the Red, discovered Greenland.
Leif Ericson
There is no city or town in Massachusetts named Greenland. However, in the next state, New Hampshire, there is a town by that name. Perhaps you are thinking of some of the explorers who came to the New World-- Leif Ericson, for example: he discovered Greenland (the country) and then traveled to what is today North America, but he landed in Canada, rather than Massachusetts.
Leif Erikson sailed southwest from Greenland to the islands off the coast of northern Canada and Newfoundland in 1000 or 1001. Leif gave the land the name Vinland.
He sailed to Greenland (to a colony established by his father Eric the Red) and to Vinland, which was the name he gave to what is now Newfoundland in Canada.
he named it Greenland because it would sound like an interesting place so people would be attracted to there
He died in Greenland.
Leif traveled to and named Vinland, Markland and Heluland. There were already people there but he discovered them for Europe.

Leif Erikson did. His nickname was Leif the Lucky. He named Greenland Greenland because the name Greenland sounded like a warm, sunny place with green plant life in it. But, Greenland is VERY cold. The people who settled there probably mad at Leif when they found out what frigid temperatures they would be living in.
