Do you have friends, colleagues, clients, students or patients with Māori names, which you unsure how to pronounce? Look their name up in the search window and hit enter. Then click on the name you’d like to hear.

Tip : Type in just one name at a time (either the person’s first, middle or last name). Our widget cannot yet handle combinaisons of many names.

What about macrons? You don’t have to add macrons, even if the name you are searching for has some. After you’ve hit “enter”, the webpage will display the name with macrons if it is supposed to have some. If the name has variants with and without macrons, the webpage will display all variants and you will have to choose one.

You can’t find a specific name in our database? Drop us a line about it and we will add it in. In the meantime, you can check if it is in Te Aka Māori-English Online Dictionary. You could also take a couple of minutes with your client, student or patient and ask them to record their own name right there, on the spot, so we can add it to this website for future reference.
