The northwestern bulbous end of the island was called Nutiran (pronounced "Nusiran") by the colonists, presumably because it was where the New Zealand surveyors were camped when the first working party arrived in 1938. One early resident, however, said that it was so named because the Norwich City was understood to have come from New Zealand.
