Place Names
The Māori Language Commission is often asked about Māori place names. We have provided this map with some of the more commonly used place names.
For a more extensive list of names, click here. Please let us know of any Māori place names that you are accustomed to using.
The Reed Dictionary of Māori Place Names is another useful place names resource.
Sometimes the best way to find a Māori place name for a local area is to visit a local marae and to ask local iwi.
