∙ 9y agoNew Zealand is the name of the country as a whole. Although originally named Staten Landt by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, as he thought it was connected to South America, Dutch cartographers renamed it Nova Zeelandia in 1645 after the province of Zeeland In the Netherlands. This literally meant new sea-land. This was later translated to English, becoming New Zealand on the British Admiralty charts.
New Zealand has three major Islands - North Island, South Island and Stewart Island, and hundreds of other small islands dotted around the country's coast. Because of the history of the country, it could be said that the entire country is the "New" in New Zealand.
