Well the make name of Aotearoa has survived perhaps fittingly. Percy probably wanted some maori/inherent connection, rather than for the colonist dutch to take credit of of naming our islands New Zealand. Don't know why the dutch never migrated here then, like other territories they invaded, imposing dutch rule, and slavery. They did arrive in mass three hundred years later (1950's) after NZ named officially. I knew heaps of them, that settled in the Auckland eastern suburbs. "Zealand" incidentally is also is a Danish island.
True that, and the Danish capitol of Copenhagen is on the island of Zealand. |
