The islands are listed with the New Zealand outlying islands. The islands are an immediate part of New Zealand, but not part of any region or district, but instead an Area Outside Territorial Authority.
The islands were named after the Breton captain Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec, who visited the islands as part of the d’Entrecasteaux expedition in the 1790s. The topographic particle “Kermadec” is of Breton origin and is a lieu-dit in Pencran in Finistère where ker means village, residence and madec a proper name derived from mad (which means ‘good’) with the suffix -ec, used to form adjectives indicating a property.
The Māori name is Rangitāhua which is also used for Raoul island.
