List of New Zealand places named by James Cook

This is a list of New Zealand places named by James Cook. Cook was the first European navigator to circumnavigate and chart the archipelago. He chose names from dull to droll to descriptive, from metaphorical to a narrative of events, or to honour people and to record the existing Maori language names of places.[1] The list below is in the order described in Cook's journals of his first and second voyages to the Pacific.[2]

Notes
  1. Over time the New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa has implemented naming conventions and set about agreeing dual or alternate place names that remember both the Māori and European heritage of New Zealand; hence, where appropriate, today’s name is shown in brackets
  2. Unless otherwise cited, all reasons come Cook's journals. Direct quotations are shown in double quotes
  3. The shown coordinates are the actual latitude and longitude; although it is worth noting that Cook’s coordinates were accurate more often than not
