What is the maori name for village?

There isn't a single, universal Māori word for "village". The term used depends on the size, nature, and specific context of the village in question.

Here are some possibilities:

* Kāinga: This is a general term for "home" or "settlement," and can often be used to refer to a village.

* Pā: This term refers to a fortified settlement or village.

* Marae: This is a traditional meeting place or community center, but can also be used to refer to a village or settlement.

* Tūrangawaewae: This is a more encompassing term that refers to a place where a person or group stands, and can be used to refer to a village, home, or ancestral land.

* Taha: This term refers to a section or part of a larger area, and could be used to describe a smaller village within a larger territory.

The specific term used would depend on the specific context and the size and nature of the village.
