What is the new Zealand official name?

New Zealand is officially named "New Zealand". Its inhabitants are generally referred to as "New Zealanders" or, colloquially, "Kiwis". It was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642, and some time after he named it "Nieuw Zeeland", which later became anglicised as New Zealand. New Zealand is sometimes referred to as "Aotearoa" one of the names used by some Maori and more commonly by those on the political far left in recent times. "Aotearoa" first referred to the north island only, then later became used (more commonly since the 1990s) for the whole country. Prior to European settlement, Maori did not have a concept of New Zealand being a singular nation as they were several warring tribes that had no use or desire for unification. New Zealand's national anthem is "God Defend New Zealand" and its flag is referred to as the New Zealand flag.


Why is new zealands name aotearoa?

There is not a majority in favour of changing the name of New Zealand. Why would New Zealand change its name? One reason given is: It should have a name given by the first inhabitants, the Maori. One suggested name is Aotearoa. But this name possibly only refers to one of the main islands rather than the whole country.
