About the name
Aronui is Māori — "deep love, great desire; the pursuit of knowledge" — one of the three baskets of knowledge (kete aronui) that Tāne retrieved from the heavens in Māori cosmology: the basket containing all learning that helps humankind.
As a given name it is extraordinarily rare anywhere — a deliberate scholar's choice with a creation myth built in.
Three syllables (ah-raw-NOO-ee) carrying a library. It pairs well with grounded middles (Aronui James, Aronui Rose). On our vibe map it is Dark Academia by way of Cultural Fusion — the knowledge-basket name.
