Is Darwin named after Charles Darwin?

If you are referring to the capital city of Australia's Northern Territory then yes, it is. This is due to the visit paid by 'The Beagle', Charles Darwin's former ship on his voyage around the world, to Port Darwin, on 9 September 1839. The captain of the ship named the newly mapped region after his former passenger. Initially Darwin was named Palmerston after the Prime Minister of Britain, Lord Palmerston, but once the settlement was established, all shipping was consigned to "Port Darwin", not Palmerston. When South Australia handed control of the Northern Territory to the Commonwealth government in 1911, the city was officially renamed Darwin.
