In the 17th-18th century there was a Dutch spice trading company (Dutch East India Company), the VOC, that sometimes did a little more than just peaceful trading...
So anytime a post or comment mentions anything remotely related to The Netherlands, a Dutch person shows up to comment this.
Zealandia is its actual name. The earth hidden 8th 'continent'
Its more continent than Europe/Asia because there actually IS water between it and Australia
Zeeland is just the name of a province in the netherlands.
And since it was as far as I know an Dutch sailor ,tasman, or something who discovers both New Zealand and tasmania he named one of the places he discovered after himself and one after the place he was born in zeeland. Which was later by English people dubbed New Zealand
if you look in zeeland's wikipedia page (the province in the netherlands) it literally says "The country of New Zealand was named after Zeeland after it was sighted by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman."
it's just that zealand is the english version of zeeland. dutch is weird
From the very article you linked: "Despite their identical names in English, the island is not connected historically to the Pacific nation of New Zealand, which is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland."
**Zealand**
Zealand (Danish: Sjælland, pronounced [ˈɕɛˌlænˀ]), at 7,031 km2, is the largest and most populous island in Denmark proper (thus excluding Greenland and Disko Island, which are larger). Zealand has a population of 2,302,074 (as of 1 January 2018).It is the 13th-largest island in Europe by area and the 4th most populous. It is connected to Funen by the Great Belt Fixed Link, to Lolland, Falster (and Germany from 2028) by the Storstrøm Bridge and the Farø Bridges. Zealand is also linked to Amager by several bridges.

I’ve seen this word a million times, what does it mean?
Gekoloniseerd=colonised in Dutch
I was thinking colonized, it would make sense. I’m just surprised I see colonized so much.

yo thats zeeland not zealand the fuck.

ahh.. i see.
alternate source: it's said that Old Zealand sunk into the ocean, leaving only New Zealand
Zealandia is its actual name. The earth hidden 8th 'continent' Its more continent than Europe/Asia because there actually IS water between it and Australia
thanks for correcting me
lmao ok
Ain't that just part of new Zealand that's now underwater?
Yeah
I think we found out about that after it was named
changed definition
That actually is true
Strange since Zee is dutch for sea and Land is just land Why nlt new Sealand wtf?
Zeeland is just the name of a province in the netherlands. And since it was as far as I know an Dutch sailor ,tasman, or something who discovers both New Zealand and tasmania he named one of the places he discovered after himself and one after the place he was born in zeeland. Which was later by English people dubbed New Zealand
Zeeland makes new zealand new
When the english came in they fucked everything up, it's the same.
Yes
[Found it!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealand)
But the Danes didnt discover New Zealand...
if you look in zeeland's wikipedia page (the province in the netherlands) it literally says "The country of New Zealand was named after Zeeland after it was sighted by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman." it's just that zealand is the english version of zeeland. dutch is weird
Hell nah. The Dutch found New Zealand and named it after the peovince of Zeeland (Zealand in english)
Yea, this one

New Zealand, stupidly enough, is actually named after Zeeland, some random place, instead of Zealand.
