  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.

    Lots of islands like that in Denmark 😄

      No he’s right, it’s named after the Ditch province. Coincidence that Sjælland is written Zealand

      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.
