Commonalities in Hong Kong place names
Wikipedia has a page entitled Place names of Hong Kong, which mentions:


Kok (角) - point (of land), horn, angle


Point is also a common term in English place names.

A good example of this can be found on another Wiki page: Origins of names of cities and towns in Hong Kong. Here they have the example of 沙頭角:

City | Language Origins |  Meaning
Sha Tau Kok    | Chinese   | sandy head point


Another good example might be North Point (北角). As this ejinsight article examplains:

Many of Hong Kong’s geographical place names have been in use for more than 150 years. Some describe their specific locations. North Point is one of them.
North Point sits on the northernmost tip of Hong Kong Island, a major cross-harbor interchange on the MTR line.
