That is the Maori word for the island is also known as 'Great Barrier Island' just north of Auckland, New Zealand.

That answer is certainly worth a point, Stevo!

I believe Aotea is the name in Maori of Great Barrier Island, and Aotearoa the name for the North Isalnd of New Zealand or for the whole country.
