Wikipedia has an article on: Australia Satellite image of Australia (English def. 1)Etymology
First attested 16th century, from Latin terra austrālis incōgnita (“‘unknown southern land’”), from auster (“‘the south wind’”). Used also in 1693 (quotation below). Popularised by Matthew Flinders in 1814 (quotation below).
Distantly cognate to Austria – same PIE root, but via German where it retained the earlier sense of “east” rather than “south” rather than “east”.
See also Terra Australis.
