Read the Treaty of Waitangi, Maori version, and see what the actual Maori name for New Zealand is. It is NOT Aotearoa, but Nu Tirani. Aotearoa only applied to part of the North Island, and not the whole country.

Those Dutch cartographers were the first to give one name to this archipelago - Nova Zeelandia - so I see we should stick to that and ignore the subsequent anglicized version of it. My vote goes to Nova Zeelandia although for some inhabitants of the islands it did indeed usher in a New Tyranny.

I think Zealandia should be retired from the coat of arms. She is too much of a cultural cringe to Britannia? The warrior should be replaced by an IT consultant and Zealandia by a realtor.

Fellow Commonwealth province - Nova Scotia - kept its Latin name.
