Etymology

aotearoana: From the Maori name for New Zealand (although originally the name only referred to the North Island). Derived from the Maori ao ‘cloud, daytime, world’ and tea ‘white’ and roa ‘long’, usually translated as ‘land of the long white cloud’, a reference to the appearance of the island from the sea.
