Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. It originally meant only what is now known as the North Island, but is becoming more recognized internationally as the bilingual (English/Maori) name of New Zealand. In an 1878 Maori translation of the national anthem God Defend New Zealand, Aotearoa was used in place of New Zealand. This translation remains in use.
