Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. It means Land of the long white cloud.
** Aotearoa simply means "Long Cloud" - no "land of" (Whenua) or "white" (Ma) is in the name.
Also, "Aotea" was the name of one of the first Maori canoes to settle on the Nth Island, given its lengthy voyage, it's fair to assume that it would have been a "long" canoe... until recent years "Aotearoa" was merely the name for the North Island only.
