From the 1600s, the Dutch traders called Australia New Holland. When Captain James Cook charted the eastern coast in 1770, he claimed it for England under the name of New South Wales. In between this time, some map-makers of the 1700s called it the Great South Land. Prior to this it was called Terra Australis Incognita: the unknown Southern land.
Matthew Flinders was the one who first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", the name adopted in 1824.
