If your family traces its ancestry to the MÄori people, indigenous Polynesians who call New Zealand home, it might be important for you to choose a baby name with roots in that culture.
The MÄori people are indigenous Polynesians who settled in New Zealand. Their native language, sometimes called Te Reo, is something of a dying language; of the 600,000 MÄori people in New Zealand, only about 125,000 are conversational in it, according to Wikipedia. All the more reason to honor a MÄori ancestry with a MÄori-origin name? We think so too!
