There is no definitive record of him sailing to new territories after Vinland, but it is believed that he continued to explore and trade in the region. Most of the Norse explorations occurred around the early 11th century, specifically around 1000 AD for his journey to Vinland. Further voyages by Eriksson specifically are not well-documented.

Leif Eriksson called the new land he discovered "Vinland." This name is thought to derive from the presence of wild grapes or the favorable conditions for growing vines in the area, suggesting it was a place of abundance. Vinland is believed to be located in what is now known as Newfoundland, Canada, where Norse explorers established a settlement around the year 1000 AD.
Leif Eriksson referred to Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland as "Vinland," which means "Land of Wine" in Old Norse. He named it this due to the presence of wild grapes he discovered there, which he believed could be used for winemaking. Eriksson's exploration around the year 1000 marked one of the earliest known European contacts with North America, long before Columbus's voyages. The name "Vinland" reflects both the natural resources he encountered and the Viking spirit of exploration.
