About female maori names
How female maori names are built
A result joins one given name to one family name, drawing 98 male given names and 108 female against 180 family names. Each piece is a whole stored form, so the engine returns names like Tipene Manahi, Piatarihi Heuheu, and Matariki Kaipara. Region label: Maori, Aotearoa.
Tipene Manahi
Tipene (given, male bank) + Manahi (family name)
male given name plus a family name from the shared pool
Piatarihi Heuheu
Piatarihi (given, female bank) + Heuheu (family name)
female given name plus a family name from the shared pool
Matariki Kaipara
Matariki (given, female bank) + Kaipara (family name)
female given name plus a family name from the shared pool
Naming notes
The pattern is two independent draws, given plus family name, with the 180-entry family-name pool shared across genders. Macrons are stripped to plain ASCII to match the source bank, so long vowels are written as ordinary letters. The family-name pool is the largest slot against the smaller given banks.
