Hawaii was originally named the Sandwich Islands after one of Captain James Cook's sponsors, John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was at the time the First Lord of the Admiralty and Cook's superior officer.
The first part of Australia to be sighted by James Cook was the southeastern corner of the continent.On 19 April 1770, officer of the watch, Lieutenant Zachary Hicks, sighted land and alerted Captain Cook. Cook made out low sandhills which he named Point Hicks, although he did not yet know whether they formed part of an island or a continent.

Not much is known about the true original names of the 8 major Hawaiian Islands, as the ancient people used a number of different names to describe where they were from. At one time, the islands were known by the Ali'i Nui who controlled them. We do know that Captain James Cook who was the first European to visit them, gave them the name of the Sandwich Islands. On that note, the true origin of the current names are also unknown.
