Australian federal election, 2025
Division of Sydney, New South Wales
Named for: City of Sydney, named by Arthur Phillip in January 1788 (after Thomas Townshend, Viscount Sydney
(1733-1800), British Colonial Secretary 1783-89) (When Townshend was elevated to the peerage in 1783 he took the title Viscount Sydney of Chislehurst. He was related to
the Sydney family who had been prominent since Elizabethan times. The name Sydney or Sidney is said to derive from an Anglo-Saxon
placename, although there is no such locality in Britain today. Alternatively it may derive from the French placename St Denis.
St Denis is the patron saint of France, and there are several places in Normandy called St Denis from which the Sydney family may
originally have come.)
