Abel Tasman named his ships after notable figures and concepts from his homeland and Dutch heritage. His two primary ships, the Heemskerck and the Zeehaen, were named after Dutch explorers and regions. The Heemskerck was named after a place in the Netherlands, while the Zeehaen translates to "Sea Hen," reflecting maritime themes common in ship naming.
