Zealand Meaning and Origin
The name Zealand is a boy’s name meaning “sea-land” and is of English and Danish origin. Originally from the Danish place name, Sjælland, the largest island in Denmark. The name Zealand is often interpreted as “land by the sea” or “sea land,” reflecting the coastal nature of the Dutch province of Zeeland and the island nation of New Zealand. Zealand is strongly associated with the country of New Zealand, which consists of two main islands, the North Island and the South Island, along with numerous smaller islands. As a given name, Zealand is relatively uncommon. It is more commonly used as a place name or surname. However, names inspired by geographical locations or unique place names have gained popularity in recent years.
