Originally called something else, this thing has come a long way! It’s amazing to think about how far it’s come - from its humble beginnings to where it is now. Who would’ve thought that what started out as a small idea would turn into something so big? It’s truly incredible! Wow!
What Was New Zealand Originally Called? [Solved]
Well, when James Cook arrived in 1769, he gave Nieuw Zeeland the English name of New Zealand. He also renamed Te Moana-o-Raukawa to Cook Strait and added a bunch of other English place names. You can see it all on his famous 1770 map!
Originally, it was known as something else, but now it goes by a different name. You could say it’s had a makeover!
