Zealand
:This article is about the Danish island. For the Dutch province, see Zeeland; for the Pacific island country named after that province, see New Zealand.
Etymology
The name originates from the huge seal populations on the shores of Zealand, making the original name Seal-land (Sæl-land). In ancient Danish seal (sæl) and "soul" (sjæl) are very closely related words, as seals were thought to be souls of lost seamen.
