I read a book some months ago which referred to Terranova and related lands south of it in such a term, but it was related to ancient times and translated into Spanish, anything could happen..... (the translations are, sometimes, anything but funny....)
Now I'm reading 'A Commonwealth of Thieves' by T. Kenneally, this time in its original language, and again it appears as a marginal topic (the transportation penalties imposed by Englishmen in eighteen century), and it is named with both names, but usually as New Scotland.... again, some centuries have passed by......
A quick search over the usual map (that's a Google one, of course....), and guess what!..... it magically knows about my actual location and language (even if I use the .com site)... so it is a blend of all possible denominations.... New Scotland, but also Nova Scotia (it may have to do something about the magical allocation of my IP number....).
I beg your pardon if anything about this was offensive, not my intention at all, and in between I've learned a lot and brush up my knowledge.....
