What does Kaikoura mean in maori?

Kaikoura in Māori means "to eat crayfish" or "eating crayfish".

It's a combination of two words:

* Kai - meaning "food" or "to eat"

* Koura - meaning "crayfish"

This name accurately reflects the abundance of crayfish in the area, which have historically been an important food source for the local Māori people.
