It means "New Scotland" in Latin, and it was named by the Scots in 1621 as an answer to New England and New France. The responsibility for the name is either King James I/VI or Sir William Alexander. All this, despite the fact that the land was controlled by the Mi'kmaq and the French, who wanted nothing to do with the few Scottish settlers who showed up and promptly ran them out. When the British took over Acadia in 1713 they reverted to Nova Scotia.
