Answer 2

Why Australia Was Named That Way

The name "Australia" is derived from the Latin word "australis," meaning "southern". It was first suggested by the British explorer Matthew Flinders in 1804 as the most suitable name for the continent. The name was officially adopted in 1824 by the British government. The rationale behind the name was to reflect the continent's location in the southern hemisphere.
