New Regent Street

Named after Christ Church College at the University of Oxford. It was originally known as Christ Church, the name being abbreviated by common usage by the 1880s

The pre-European (M�ori) name Otautahi, is said to originate from a M�ori chief named Tautahi, who is believed to have occupied a seasonal dwelling on a bank of the Avon River near to where the Barbadoes Street bridge now stands. To date there is no documentary or archaeological evidence to support this contention.
