It is not known exactly how and where the name ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) originated, but there are several theories.

According to the Australian War Memorial site, one of the earliest times 'ANZAC' was used was in a book of sketches by Signaller Ellis Silas, who served with the AIF at ANZAC Cove, and in the book's foreword by Sir Ian Hamilton. Hamilton attributed the first use of the word to himself, needing a convenient acronym for signalling via the telegraph for security purposes.

Another to whom the acronym is attributed is General Sir W R Birdwood who needed to choose a telegraphic code when he took over the command of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in Egypt. He is said to have selected 'ANZAC'.

A completely different story is told by Australian war historian C E W Bean. Bean's research uncovered the information that a clerk, Lt A.T. White RASC of the British Regular Army, suggested 'ANZAC' when a codename for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps was needed by Major C M Wagstaff of the "operations" section of General Birdwood's staff.

Princess Te Puea Herangi was a prominent Māori leader and activist in New Zealand, known for her efforts to promote Māori culture and advocate for the rights of the Māori people in the early 20th century. She played a significant role in the revitalization of the Māori community, particularly in the Waikato region, and was instrumental in establishing the Māori King Movement. Te Puea was also celebrated for her work in education, health, and social welfare, making lasting contributions to the welfare of her people. Her legacy continues to inspire Māori leadership and activism today.

According to the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, in 1893, Tom Ellison proposed at the first AGM of the NZRFU that the uniform be 'black jersey with silver fern monogram, black cap and stockings and white knickerbockers'. This was possibly to allow the reuse of uniforms for those in the New Zealand Natives and or the Wellington teams.

The shorts were changed to black in 1901, and the name All Blacks was coined, although exactly by whom is debated).

This name for the most prominent national sports team led to a strong national identity associated with the colour black. Many New Zealanders will wave a black flag emblazoned with the silver fern in preference to the national flag at sports events.

Some sports people have said there is a psychological advantage over competitors in wearing the colour black, but some research has suggested that referees tend to judge those wearing black more harshly.

Marsden was instrumental in starting the Christian missions to New Zealand, where he and others were well received among the Maori people. He is credited with holding the first Christian service in the Islands on Christmas Day in 1814. Marsden is thus remembered favourably in New Zealand, and it is believed he is the one who introduced sheep to the islands.

Hone Wiremu Heke Pokai was a very influential chief of the Nqa Puhi tribe of New Zealand. He was a Maori rangatira (chief) and war leader. He is considered the principal instigator of the Flagstaff War.

As a child, he attended a mission school in Kerikeri and came under the influence of missionaries. As a result, Hone Heke and his family were converted to Christianity, and Hone became a lay preacher.

It was as a warrior that Hone Heke established his reputation.

As a signal of his unhappiness with the plight of the Māori, Hone Heke chopped down the flagpole carrying the British flag that flew over Kororareka. The British interpreted this as an act of rebellion and soon the two sides were at war. In a span of 6 months, Hone Heke actually chopped the flagpole down three times. To prevent this from happening again, the British ordered in a battalion to defend it. Heke created a diversion, and while the soldiers were fighting on a nearby beach, Heke and a few others crept towards the flagpole and cut it down for the fourth time.

This was the beginning of the Flagstaff War.
