Poutini is Maori in Origin.
Poutini is a name that has its origins in the Māori language of New Zealand. The name is believed to mean "chief of the tides" or "lord of the waves". In Māori mythology, Poutini is the god of the sea and is associated with the West Coast of the South Island. According to legend, Poutini was responsible for creating the beautiful greenstone (jade) that is found in the area.
The name Poutini is typically used as a male name. It is pronounced as "POO-tee-nee" with the emphasis on the first syllable. The name is not commonly used outside of New Zealand, but it has gained some popularity among Māori communities in recent years. The name may also be spelled as Poutiñi, which includes a macron (a line above the "i") to indicate a long vowel sound.
The name Poutini is made up of two components: "pou" and "tini". "Pou" means "post" or "pillar" in Māori, while "tini" means "many" or "numerous". Together, the name Poutini can be translated as "many posts" or "many pillars". This may refer to the idea of Poutini as a powerful and influential figure in Māori mythology, or it may simply be a reference to the natural beauty of the West Coast region where the name originated.
