found:Wikipedia WWW, viewed on April 24, 2024:Wellington page (Wellington takes its name from Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington; named in November 1840 by the original settlers of the New Zealand Company; in the Māori language, Wellington has three names: Te Whanganui-a-Tara, meaning "the great harbour of Tara", refers to Wellington Harbour; Pōneke, commonly held to be a phonetic Māori transliteration of "Port Nick", short for "Port Nicholson". An alternatively suggested etymology for Pōneke is that it comes from a shortening of the phrase Pō Nekeneke, meaning "journey into the night"; Te Upoko-o-te-Ika-a-Māui, meaning "The Head of the Fish of Māui" (often shortened to Te Upoko-o-te-Ika), a traditional name for the southernmost part of the North Island)
