The name "moa" is derived from the Māori language, where it refers to the large, Flightless Birds that once inhabited New Zealand. The term itself is believed to be related to the Māori word for "to run" or "to flee," which reflects the bird's inability to fly despite its size. Moas were prominent in Māori culture and history, and their name has since become synonymous with these extinct species.
