Lots of people do not think Greenland is an appropriate name for it because Greenland used to be warm and had open fields. So when the Norse settlers came they enjoyed living there, but the Earth soon becamecold and forced the Norse settlers out so Greenland was not Green anymore it was icy and frigid.
Erik the Red purposely misnamed Greenland so people would move there.

Greenland was named by the Norse explorer Erik the Red in order to attract settlers to the island. The name "Greenland" was chosen as a way to make the land seem more appealing and hospitable despite its icy landscape.
