    It’s actually the Dutch province of Zeeland which is notable for being otherwise completely unnotable.

      Nope. Zee ≠ Zea

      which is notable for being otherwise completely unnotable.

        New Zealand was named Nova Zeelandia by Dutch cartographers which was then Anglicised to New Zealand. It’s named after the Dutch province. Denmark had nothing to do with it.
