Maui

Maui is a gender-neutral name of Hawaiian and Māori origin. You might recognize this title from the Hawaiian island or even the Polynesian trickster god. The 2016 Disney film Moana brought Maui into popular culture with Dwayne Johnson’s playful portrayal of the legendary figure! While the path to Maui’s exact roots is still a little hidden, there’s one route you and baby can follow. In the Māori language, the word mauī means “left,” so don’t be surprised if your little one thrives in life’s twists and turns.
