What does aotearoa mean in English?

"Aotearoa" is a Māori word that roughly translates to "land of the long white cloud".

While a direct translation is difficult, it's generally understood as a poetic way to describe New Zealand, referencing the often-seen long white clouds that drift over the islands.
