Australia is named as "Notasie ou Nouvelle Hollande": the name Notasia started appearing on a number of maps of Australia in the early-19th century. It is not known who coined the name, but its most logical meaning seems to be ‘Southern Asia’ and is said to be derived from the Greek νοτος (notos) ‘south; the south wind’.
