EspañolDUAL NAMING
'Dual naming' is a policy for the naming of geographical landmarks, in which an official name is adopted that combines two previous names. Usually, the context is a conflict over which of the two previous names is most appropriate.
In several countries, dual naming is used where a native people and a colonial settler community have previously used two names.
In Australia, a dual naming policy is used to name landmarks that are of significance to the Indigenous Australians, but for which the most common name is European. For example, the landmark with Indigenous name ''Uluru'' and European name ''Ayers Rock'' is now officially ''Uluru / Ayers Rock''.
Similarly, in New Zealand, many places have dual Maori and English names, such as Aoraki/Mount Cook.
