Rennell and Bellona is a province of the Solomon Islands comprised of two atolls, Rennell and Bellona, or Mu Nggava and Mu Ngiki respectively in Polynesian. They are both Polynesian-inhabited islands within the Solomons, most of the islands being primarily Melanesian with a few Micronesian island provinces. They are thus considered Polynesian outliers. Rennell is the southernmost island in the Solomons Group. The atolls were officially discovered by Mathew Boyd of Camberwell, London, Commander of the merchant ship, Bellona, in 1793. The province has a combined population of 2,377 (1999). The Samoic language of the islands is, in English texts, called "Rennell". The capital is Tigoa on Rennell Island.
