词源

Named after a large bay, Hawke Bay, which was named after Edward Hawke, 1st Baron Hawke (1705 - 1781). The name was given by explorer James Cook (1728 - 1779). The town in Newfoundland was named by Cook during his survey of Newfoundland in honor of Hawke's victory at the Battle of Quiberon Bay in 1759.
