    Serious answer: the Viking settlers named the land “Vinland” long before Columbus was even born. That name is of Germanic origin, same as the English language, and would be appropriate for settlers of Germanic origin (England, Germany, etc.)

    Alternatively, a name in the a Native American language would be most appropriate given that they were the original inhabitants of the land.
