Abel Tasman did not name Australia. The name Australia comes from the Latin term 'terra australis incognita', meaning "unknown southern land", because for so long the continent of Australia was theorised, but not realised.
Matthew Flinders, the first to circumnavigate the continent, was the one who suggested the name "Terra Australis" and this became Australia, the name officially adopted in 1824.
In 1642, Abel Tasman named the island and southern state now known as Tasmania Van Diemen's Land after Antony Van Diemen, governor of Batavia.
