How do you refer to the island nation in the Pacific Ocean, roughly around 41* S, 175* E?

In 1642 it was named Staten Land by Dutch Explorer Abel Tasman, in 1645 Dutch Cartographers renamed it Nova Zeelandia in reference to a Dutch province, and “British explorer James Cook subsequently anglicized the name to New Zealand.” (NewZealandVacations.com)

But if you ask a whole lot of people– particularly the people whose ancestors lived there before the Dutch came around– they might instead refer to it as Aotearoa, which is a name being pushed for with greater momentum in the last several years thanks to the efforts of Māori activists, with many around the world starting to adopt Aotearoa New Zealand to refer to the land. Though even that name doesn’t tell the whole story.
