What's the original name?

edit

The lede says Opuke and the 2nd paragraph says Ōpuke. Neither are referenced. -- haminoon (talk) 03:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Haminoon: The New Zealand Gazetteer (see link in Wikidata) says that "Mount Hutt" is not an official name but does not record the prior name. My edition of Place Names of New Zealand is from 2010 (I believe it's the latest edition, but I could be wrong; pp 177–178) and does say that Opuke is the Māori name (with the translation 'o' meaning 'place of' and 'puke' meaning 'hill'). 2010 was the pre-macron era and the editor, Peter Dowling, didn't use them. Hence I cannot resolve that aspect for you – sorry. Schwede66 04:21, 27 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
