Maoriata

Maoriata is a given name of Maori origin. It is a female name that is relatively uncommon. The name is composed of elements from the Maori language, a Polynesian language spoken by the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand. While the exact etymological breakdown and precise meaning can vary and are subject to interpretation, "Maori" refers to the Maori people or culture. The "-ata" suffix is often associated with brightness, light, or dawning. Thus, Maoriata can be interpreted to mean "Maori dawn," "bright Maori," or something similar that conveys a sense of light and association with Maori heritage.
