North Island has the majority of the Maori living in New Zealand, numbering about 300,000.
You'll come across more place names such as Whakatane, Papakura, Tokoroa, and Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, which means in English ' The place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as landeater, played his flute to his loved one'.
Aw right, have pity on anyone asking where that is! Colourful place names have helped to retain the 'MaoriTanga' or culture and when we arrived in the town you could immediately see the totem wood carvings on buildings and elegant tree-lined avenues.

But mostly we got the boring names from our colonists I think ("We shall name this beautiful part of this exotic new land...Russell!
He's a friend of mine back home who owns 17 percent of the United Kingdom"), and had rely on the Maori language to come up with a few interesting (and original) placenames, like Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, and I'm not making that up.
There are local exceptions of course (will the mystery of who 'Murray Ainsley' was and why he had a Christchurch suburb named after him ever be solved?), but I mean really, who would you rather play soccer for, Murray Ainsley or West Ham?
