Kia Ora! It's Maori language week and I came across a tool that's been put together to translate names into the Maori version.

Let me know if you want help with pronunciation

My name didn't change too much: Erica is "Irika" in Maori, according to the site.

What fun! Mine is Tina. Also typed in a few of my loved ones' names, too. Caroline translates to Kararaina. How pretty is that? The pronunciation looks pretty straightforward. Am I right about that?

I haven't heard this one said aloud. Simple pronunciation would be "kah-rah-RY-nah" but I think the "raina" part would be more rah-EE-nah with the "rah-EE" spoken together. Hope that makes sense!

Mine came out as Ema, so it’s not that different.

Aww, mine comes back as Kiritīni. Kiri is one of my favourite names, so that makes me really happy :)
