Baby names · Māori origin
Names from forest, ocean, and ancestor
Māori baby names — Tāne (atua of the forest), Kauri (the great native tree), Awatea (daybreak), Aronui (deep love and pursuit of knowledge) — carry the indigenous tradition of Aotearoa New Zealand. Most reference the natural world, sky and sea figures, or virtue meanings. Vowel-rich, melodic, and increasingly chosen by both Māori and non-Māori parents seeking names with Pacific rootedness.
