    ) (
    Māori
    :
    Ōtautahi
    ) is the largest city in the
    South Island
    of New Zealand and the seat of the
    Canterbury Region
    . The Christchurch urban area lies on the South Island's east coast, just north of
    Banks Peninsula
    . It is home to 389,700 residents,
    [2]
    making it New Zealand's
    third most-populous city
    behind
    Auckland
    and
    Wellington
    .
    The city was named by the
    Canterbury Association
    , which settled the surrounding province of
    Canterbury
    . The name of Christchurch was agreed on at the first meeting of the association on 27 March 1848. It was suggested by
    John Robert Godley
    , who had attended
    Christ Church, Oxford
    . Christchurch became a city by
    Royal Charter
    on 31 July 1856, making it officially the oldest established city in New Zealand.
    The
    Avon River
    flows through the centre of the city, with an urban park located along its banks. At the request of the
    Deans brothers
    , the river was named after the
    River Avon
    in
    Scotland
    , which rises in the Ayrshire hills near to where their grandfather's farm was located.
    [3]
    The usual
    Māori
    name for Christchurch is
    Ōtautahi
    ("the place of Tautahi"), originally the name of a specific site by the Avon River near present-day Kilmore Street and the Christchurch Central Fire Station. The site was a seasonal dwelling of
    Ngāi Tahu
    chief Te Potiki Tautahi, whose main home was
    Port Levy
    on Banks Peninsula. The Ōtautahi name was adopted in the 1930s. Prior to that the Ngāi Tahu generally referred to the Christchurch area as Karaitiana,
    [4]
    a transliteration of the English word
    Christian
    .
    The city suffered a devastating series of earthquakes between September 2010 and early 2012, with the worst of them soon after midday on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and hundreds of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to an ongoing recovery and rebuilding project.
