otearoa in edwardian school books pictured in 1908 the use of aotearoa to refer to the whole country is a post colonial custom 16 before the period of contact with europeans māori did not have a

zealand that is the north island south island and chatham island make up together 103 000 sq miles and occasional usage has continued until at least 2005 18 after the adoption of the name new zealand

expanded meaning of aotearoa among pākehā became commonplace in the late 19th century aotearoa was used for the name of new zealand in the 1878 translation of god defend new zealand by judge thomas henry smith of the native land court 21 this translation is widely used today when the anthem is sung in māori 6 additionally william pember reeves used aotearoa to mean new zealand in his history of

retrieved 14 march 2021 the other thing you talk about in your book is the word the name aotearoa and you say that in fact pre european maori did not actually call this place aotearoa king there were some maori tribes that had a tradition that the north island had been called aotea and aotearoa but the two writers who popularised the aotearoa name and the story of kupe associated with it were a man called stephenson percy smith and william pember reeves and in a school journal in particular it went into every school in the country in the early 20th century they used percy smith s material and the story about kupe and aotearoa said this is a wonderful name and its a wonderful story wouldn t it be great if everybody called new zealand aotearoa and the result was that maori children went to school we had a pretty extensive education system both in general schools and in the native school system and they learnt at school that the maori name of new zealand was aotearoa and that s how it became the maori name te ao hou papers past retrieved 16 september 2026 tahau pania 11 december 2005 whakamātauria tō reo māori hīkina te mānuka muka te whanganui a tara te taura whiri i te reo māori
