What is name Maori for Dunedin?

There is no official Māori name for Dunedin. However, the Māori name for the Otago region, where Dunedin is located, is Ōtāgo.

Some people use the name Te Wai Pounamu, which is the Māori name for the South Island of New Zealand, to refer to Dunedin. However, this is not technically correct, as it refers to the entire island.

It's important to note that the name Dunedin itself comes from the Gaelic word Dùn Èideann, which is the Scottish name for Edinburgh.
