Who was the Tasman Sea named after and why is he important?
The Tasman Sea was named after Tasmania, which was named after Abel Janszoon Tasman, a Dutch explorer. Abel Tasman was the first European to sight both New Zealand and Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania). As the Tasman Sea lies between these two points, it was logical to name it after the first known European explorer to traverse the sea (even though Tasman initially believed that Van Diemen's Land and New Zealand were part of the same continent).
