Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, was named after a scientist, though not directly.
Originally named Palmerston, the city was renamed Port Darwin in 1911, which became just "Darwin". The harbour on which Darwin is located had been named Darwin Harbour by the Captain of the Beagle, John Lort Stokes, who named it after his former shipmate, Charles Darwin, after Stokes discovered it in 1839.
