We can dig deeper in etymology. Austrialia is a weird merger of Austria and Australis. But surprisingly these two words are distant cognates. Austria is a latinization of Ostarreich, meaning "eastern kingdom". "Ostar" is the word for "east", which are obviuos cognates. They both come from Proto-Germanic *austraz, meaning "east, dawn". This term derived from Proto-Indo-European *aus, which meant "to shine, burn, dry". Australis, from Latin, meant "southern". But this derives from PIE *aus, too. In fact Romans considered south as the land where the Sun is shining brighter, and furthermore they experienced that the southern they travelled, the dryer the climate, so the word was particularly fitting. In conclusion "Australia" comes from two geographic names, referring respectively to east and south, which ultimately both derived from a single PIE word meaning "to shine". Hence, we could say that Australia is the "shining land".
It's pretty dry there, the sun is really bright, and it's south and east of Europe. If that's not the most amazing coincidence in geography, I don't know what is.
@@AtlasPro1, Yes, more complicated. 4:36 - It is bizarre that you reiterate Flinders' conclusion without highlighting the fact that he was DEAD WRONG. You did this entire video without discussing what I see to be the most curious part of this story. And that's how it was right on the heels of Flinders publishing that book when Antarctica was discovered. Flinders' proposal was _in the process of gaining traction_ over a hanful of months, this discovery happens where Flinders was proven wrong... ...and this MISTAKE IN NAMING AUSTRALIA stuck anyway. I'd say you buried the lead. There's plenty left here that I see to be worthy of a follow up video.
Also... Another major reason why this video needs to be revisited is because I never hear you mention the HUGE role played by it being named "New South Wales". Here is a map typical of that period: pbs.twimg.com/media/DxoWqTGUYAEFZhH.jpg ...where HALF the continent is called "New Holland" with the other half being "New South Wales". You might decide that it would be cleaner to do a full revision of your video instead of an update. Or just leave everything how you left them here, and let someone else bring these key facts to light.
at 4:37 Capt Flinders in 1804 mentions there's "no probability" of finding a body of land "of equal extent" in a "more southern latitude". Ironically, the continent of Antarctica had been sighted about 30 years earlier, and would be explored on foot for the first time just 17 years later. Of course, it wasn't known to be a continent until sometime later still, but it's pretty funny that after searching for almost 2 millennia for Terra Australis Europeans gave up and named a different continent that just a few decades before finding the real one.
4:36 "there is no probability, that any other detached body of land, of nearly equal extent, will ever be found in a more southern latitude" 16 years later they dicovered Antarctica.
But they were talking about a continent so massive that it would balance out the amount of land in north and the south. That massive countinent turned out to not actually exist. But yeah, Antarctica would probably be a better suited for the name "Australia", since it much more austral than Australia.
My mom's family is Austrian. Living in the US and Canada, people can never seem to know the difference between Austria and Australia. In all irony, there's actually a connection.
I always thought that Tasmania sounded rather cool. Then this video taught me it was called after this guy called Tasman. Which, in my (and his) native language, means "bag man". I much prefer the English version.
I'm surprised that you didn't cover "New Wales" aka "New South Wales", which the eastern half of the Continent was named, leaving only the western half as "New Holland". After all, the British just had a field-day laying claim to Dutch lands and then Renaming them, etc. First, they change New Amsterdam, to New York, then 1/2 of "New Holland" to "New Wales", then "New South Wales", and finally, to "Australia". Afterwards, they change "Anthony van Diemen's Land" to "Van Diemen's Land" and finally to "Tasmania" (apparently after one of their favorite Cartoon Characters). They may not have changed "New Zeeland", but they Anglicized the hell out of it, calling it "New Zealand" (Because that extra "e" couldn't handle the job nearly as well as the silent "a" can. After All, they don't drink "tee", they drink "tea".). Why Not? It seems the name changing addiction likely started when they changed the name of their own homeland, from "Angleland" to "England" (yet they still call themselves "Angles", as opposed to "Engles"). Then they spend the next several hundred years, chasing the dragon, trying to relive that first name changing experience..
Recently I was reading a book by a Spanish soldier from 1614 that mentions the antipodes of Spain (New Zealand) as 'a place south of the Solomon Islands where nothing is known yet and that is represented as land or water according to the author's imagination'.
they did not refer to what we know as Australia today they refer to any land of the south . South America which was discovered well before Australia never got that name in spite of the fact that is further south than Australia , Australia was named by the Spaniards the first Europeans that arrived to this lands as Australia of the Espiritu Santo in the 14 of May 1606 by Pedro Fernandez de Quiros Portuguese sailor , sailing under the orders of the Spanish Crown , prior to that the the Spanish sailor Lope de Vega landed in Sydney in 1505 more that 200 years before the English , and is of great interest to read the Spaniards reports that describe how many people lived in this lands , how many languages they spoke and they never refer to them as hostiles .
1. I know you've covered all the continents, and even entonyms and endonyms of them, maybe do the same for countries next? Would LOVE to see that 2. Hapsburg video? I think it'd be very funny if you did it
Theres three original races and theres different races in between those mixes. Originals being european, african, and asian. The natives came from asian heritage because of their migration from the ice land bridge called Beringia which once conecgted asia to north america.
They didn't. They had different 'countries' within the Continent. Hundreds of different clans, homelands, languages, customs etc. So there was no 1 name for the entire landmass.
What prevented the Spanish from traveling due west from Vanuatu? Why did they take a circuitous route? Are we to believe not a single person was curious to find the theoretical southern continent? Anyone with good observational skills would see the great barrier reef, notice the water is shallow, and surmise a large land mass is nearby. There are narrow corridors of water separating Asian islands from each other and Australia. It's statistically improbable that the Spanish only took northern routes, never southern routes. There would have been no logical reason to avoid the Australia and New Zealand region. Islands are spread throughout the pacific and are larger in the west. What a vast expanse of islands from Taiwan, The Philippines and further south! There would have been an impression that the expanse of islands was endless. People traveled to New Zealand and Easter Island with more primitive technology than the Spanish. The Spanish traveled around the world. The Spanish made thousands of trips across the Pacific before the Dutch discovered Australia. There would have been a strong economic incentive to not travel 50 degrees latitude north of Buenos Aires at such a sharp angle, and search for a more southerly route to India. An area of narrow corridors of water and large islands could not be more encouraging for the prospect of finding more of the same further south. Therefore, the main-stream narrative is wrong. Presumably, it made the British feel better, and have a greater sense of legitimacy to parrot the main-stream narrative. Maybe that's why the cliche is that parrots are on the shoulders of pirates.
Don't wanna sound like a prick but actually, Oceania is the name of the continent as a whole which encompasses New Zealand and the southern Philippines islands whereas Australia only refers to the country inhabiting the largest land mass.
The natives where not united into a single nation but they where separated into over 100 tribes.. They had many different languages and would have had many different names for the earth.. For the vast majority of the natives Australia was the entire world.. Only a few northern tribes had any kind of contact or knew that there where islands to the north..
All the countries have Latin names from Africa Arabia Asia America Australia all the way to Antarctica. It's called The Roman Empire. If u want to study law in Australia it's Latin. If u pull a coin out of your pocket it's Iron. The Iron age, Rome.
Where does this "Arabia" comes from, though ? That's just in Asia 🤨... In fact, that is close to the very part that people started to call "Asia" for the first time.
So Australia does have a connection with Austria! I knew it!

Interesting, but why was it along with New Zealand known as the Antipodes?
I'm a little late on this response, but Antipodes is Greek for opposite pole. It was the Greek name for the theorised southern continent.
Recently I was reading a book by a Spanish soldier from 1614 that mentions the antipodes of Spain (New Zealand) as 'a place south of the Solomon Islands where nothing is known yet and that is represented as land or water according to the author's imagination'.
