It's believed to be an advertisement rip off by a Viking named Erik the Red, who was exiled to Greenland. Having succeeded in building a small settlement there, he wanted to start expanding, but therefore he needed more willing people & a good lie to have them come. Another theory is it being mistakingly depicted as green, while it was meant to be "grunt" --> Gruntland. Grun is closely related to green in nordic languages, so no wonder this could've been a possibility.

It's because of how it's shaped, I think.
