About the name
Kahurangi is Māori — "sky-blue, precious, treasured" — the name of Aotearoa's prized blue-green pounamu (jade) and a national park at the South Island's wild northwest corner: treasure, geology, and sky in one word.
Essentially unknown beyond New Zealand, it offers four syllables of literal preciousness.
Pronounced kah-hoo-RAH-ngee, with Kahu as the natural key. It pairs well with simple middles (Kahurangi Rose, Kahurangi Mae). On our vibe map it is Cultural Fusion at Celestial altitude with Soft & Dreamy mist — the sky, made jade.
