Australia [SEP] Name
The name "Australia" (pronounced in Australian English) is derived from the Latin "Terra Australis" ("southern land"), a name used for a hypothetical continent in the Southern Hemisphere since ancient times. When Europeans first began visiting and mapping Australia in the 17th century, the name "Terra Australis" was naturally applied to the new territories. Until the early 19th century, Australia was best known as "New Holland", a name first applied by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1644 (as "Nieuw-Holland") and subsequently anglicised. "Terra Australis" still saw occasional usage, such as in scientific texts. The name "Australia" was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders, who said it was "more agreeable to the ear, and an assimilation to the names of the other great portions of the earth".
