My impression was that the two terms came into use in English about the
same time (the late 1990's). Eurozone was the more neutral. Euroland seemed

of the Euro: it has derogatory associations with Disneyland. Over time, as
Euroland has been used by writers not hostile to the Euro, those derogatory
associations have weakened somewhat.
