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!
One popular choice for girls is Nyree. Pronounced NI-ree, it means ‘silk’ or ‘flaxen.’
