About the name
Kauri is Māori — the giant tree of Aotearoa, among Earth's mightiest: Tāne Mahuta, "Lord of the Forest," is a living kauri over two thousand years old, and te reo names children for it the way English names them Oak.
Rare beyond New Zealand, Kauri offers tree-name gravity no import can match — the forest's king, by name.
Two round syllables (KOW-ree). It pairs well with steady middles (Kauri James, Kauri Thomas). On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired at old-growth scale with Cultural Fusion roots two millennia deep.
