Auckland was named by William Hobson (the main perpetrator of the Treaty of Waitangi, may he rot in hell) after his former commodore, Lord Auckland. At the time that Hobson was naming names, the namesake was Viceroy of India and no doubt, like many of his ilk, milking the country for everything he could. He also had a ship named after him that plied back and forth between the UK and Australia, carrying convicts.
