The Waikato River Generations of Maoris knew the Waikato as a capricious and venerated accomplice in survival; generations were buried within sight and sound of the river, which means' flowing water', but the name of the river in full was Waikato-taniwha-rau, 'the flowing water of a hundred water monsters'. |

The traditional name for Pirongia was 'Pirongia te aroaro 0 Kahu' meaning 'the fragrant presence of Kahu' his wife. The full name of Karioi is Maunga-O-Karioi meaning to linger or loiter. |
