Maori Names that Start With N

Anglicized form of Ngaire, this name is sometimes heard in New Zealand and very occasionally in England.

New Zealand writer Ngaio (born Edith Ngaio) Marsh is the best-known bearer of this Maori nature name, properly pronounced ng (like the end of sing) -EYE-oh. It is the name of a tree indigenous to New Zealand, also called the Mousehole Tree.
