Aotearoa is the maori word that roughly translates to "the land of the long white cloud." That is what the maori people called New Zealand because when they were traveling over the seas they were trying to find land, and clouds normally appear over land. They saw long white cloud while they were traveling then came upon the islands of New Zealand, hence the name.
