What do you think Australia means? Or Antarctica?
Which I am fine with.  Calling it "South/Southern Island" would be ridiculous, however.

Antartica is a romanized form of "opposite to the Arctic/Opposite of the North".  Again, the name makes all the difference in comparison to the meaning.  If they called it Anti-North, would that truly sound right?  Or would you think our ancestors were on crack?
